DealDash Heroes: Firefighters

Welcome to the newest DealDash series, DealDash Heroes! Today we are going to be talking a little bit about firefighters.

Everyone is familiar with firefighters, and many, many little boys (and some little girls!) want to grow up to be firefighters when they grow up. Firefighters are some of the most brave and courageous individuals that I know of. Here is a little but more information about firefighters, their history, and their importance to our communities.

Firefighter History

Can you guess how long organized firefighters in the USA have been around? If you guessed January 27, 1678, you’d be right! The first fire engine company in the USA went into service with its captain Thomas Atkins in January 27, 1678. Before 1678, if there was a fire ordinary citizens would form bucket brigades and attempt to fight the fire themselves. This was typically not very successful, there were many injuries and very few instances of success.

What Else Do Firefighters Do?

When you think of firefighters, you probably have two mental images – fighting fire, of course, and saving kittens that get stuck up in trees. However, firefighters do so much more for the community than just fight fires and rescue kittens! Another huge part of being a firefighter is administering medical aid as well. Interestingly enough, in the USA, more than half of the calls that firefighters go to are actually for medical aid and not for fires! Many firefighters are trained in EMS (Emergency Medical Services) as well as fighting fires. This makes firefighters even more valuable to citizens.

Firefighters work very closely with law enforcement as well. Did you know that every fire that firefighters are called to come help with is considered a crime scene until it is cleared with the police? This means that firefighters have the additional job of preserving evidence and protecting the crime scene as well?

How Can We Thank Firefighters?

Being a firefighter is a difficult and dangerous job. In many cases, the firefighters who are risking their lives for us daily are actually volunteers as well. We should all be grateful to them and show our appreciation for their selfless acts of courage.

Of course, the easiest and best way that you can help your local fire station is to give them a donation. If you don’t want to give a monetary donation, gifts of bottled water, canned goods, blankets, and personal hygiene supplies are typically welcomed as well. If you’re interested in giving this type of donation just give your local fire station a call and see when the best time is to drop off a donation. Show the firefighters how much you appreciate all of their hard work for your community.

DealDash Donates to Disabled American Veterans!

We would like to take a minute to thank everyone who participated on our 4th of July Special! With your help, we were able to donate $8,568 to Disabled American Veterans.

Disabled American Veterans is a nonprofit charity that provides a lifetime of support for veterans of all generations and their families, helping more than 1 million US veterans in positive, life-changing ways each year.

As part of our Independence Day sale, DealDash decided to donate all proceeds from auction wins paid on July 4th, 2017. Many of you paid for your auction wins on that date, and thanks to all of you we were able to collect $8,568 for the donation!

We appreciate the help of everyone who took part and helped us support Disabled American Veterans.

Get FREE Bids to Use on DealDash Auctions

Do you love DealDash? Do you love free stuff? Then you’ll love FREE bids to use on DealDash.

I love to help newbies win more auctions on DealDash, and a great way to win more auctions is to have more bidding power. How can a person get more bidding power? By getting free bids from DealDash, of course. Winning on DealDash with bids that you bought is great, but winning with FREE bids is even better. Here is the best way to get free bids on DealDash.

Using the Time Clock to Get Free Bids

What’s the easiest way to get free bids on DealDash? Quite simply, the easiest way to get free bids is to bid. What do I mean? It’s easy! Navigate yourself to DealDash, and look at the bottom of your screen. You will see your bidder name on the far left, your bids that you have left in your bid bank, your DealDash level, and finally your “Time as the highest bidder” time clock meter.

Have you ever noticed that when you bid your time clock meter starts filling up with green when you are in the lead? Eventually, your time clock meter will be filled up all the way, and you will receive free bids from DealDash. Once your time clock meter has been filled your bid bank will immediately be credited with free bids. After that, you’ll move up one level. Every time that you move up a level you will start all over again with an empty time clock meter.

Time As The Highest Bidder Multiplier

Honestly, it takes quite a while to fill up those time clock meters. Luckily, DealDash realizes this and has come up with a solution. TATHB Multipliers! What is a TATHB Multiplier? This is when DealDash gives you two, three, or even four times as much time on your time clock meter! This is an excellent time to bid on something that you would use anyway and don’t mind paying full price for, such as a gift card. Because even if you don’t win the auction, you can always BIN it, get your bids back, and even get to keep the time that you accrued on your time clock meter as a gift from DealDash.

Didn’t WIN? Better BIN!

Taking advantage of the TATHB Multiplier is a total no-brainer because DealDash always offers the BIN option. Buying It Now (BIN) is just the smart thing to do. After you’re done bidding in an auction, submit your payment to DealDash. After this, DealDash will refund all of the bids that you spent on the auction. Thats how you can take advantage of the TATHB Multiplier and not lose any money in the process.
