BROOKLYN – The words to Kevin Davison's latest song have been striking a chord with firefighters, paramedics, police officers and other frontline folks since the Kentville singer published the song via social media Nov. 19.

When Davison rolled into Brooklyn Saturday night to perform When Those Sirens Are Gone, a song about post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), dry eyes were few and far between.

With thousands of video views to date, and positive comments coming in from across North America, Davison is eager to get the song professionally recorded and playing on the airwaves by early 2015. He launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to raise enough funds.

He's now even closer to his goal. Brooklyn firefighters have donated money to the cause.

“Post traumatic stress has touched everybody in the fire service,” said Brooklyn Fire Chief Andy McDade following their annual banquet.

The firefighters presented Davison with a cheque for $1,000 to help him get the single recorded and mass produced. McDade noted the funding was not from the grant money the municipality provides them, nor was it from the community at large.
