Fire officials: Beware of fallen firefighter donation scam

Los Angeles fire officials warned the public about con artists soliciting donations in the name of a firefighter killed last week when a water-saturated ceiling caved-in on him. "If anyone tries to contact you via phone, e-mail or front door, attempting to collect money on behalf of the Los Angeles Fire Department and/or fallen firefighter Glenn Allen, call 911," Capt. Jaime Moore said. "There have been recent reports of people going door-to-door carrying cans, asking for money, taking advantage of this tragedy," Moore said. "Our deepest condolences go out to the Allen family."
