This Tin is a tribute to who Jimmy was — both as a firefighter and as a person.

Inside, you'll find pieces of his life, carefully chosen to reflect the legacy he leaves behind.
The wall inside represents his canvas — the space where his story was written. At its foundation are the names of his beloved wife and two sons, grounding everything he did. Each station number displayed on the wall marks a chapter in his career, while the tools of the trade lean gently against it, as he pens his final message to the fire service he loved. In the background, you’ll see the city of Pittsburgh skyline — the city he served — alongside the planet Mars and a spaceship, a nod to his hometown's name. And, if you knew Jimmy, you’ll smile at the squirrel — a lighthearted reminder of how easily he could get distracted. All proceeds from each Tin directly support firefighter training trips through the Jimmy Ellis Foundation.
