Fill the Boot Weekend

Great fill the boot weekend! Hope everyone was able to donate or help with collecting for MDA. For some of those that don’t know why they see firefighters doing fill the boot every Labor Day week; I thought I’d put a little information out there for you! Nothing on fitness today :(



“The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) is the largest national sponsor of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). More than 297,000 members of the IAFF in the United States and Canada are pledged to saving lives, both as fire fighters and paramedics and as the strongest campaigners for the worldwide research efforts of MDA to eradicate 40 neuromuscular diseases. The contributions of the fire fighters also go toward MDA’s summer camps for children, professional and public health education, and other programs. IAFF members have donated nearly $450 million to MDA since 1954.” http://www.iaff.org/mda/



Our engine company was lucky enough to be on shift two days this weekend for fill the boot. We received very generous donations both days! Thanks to everyone!
