Fundraising and Deputy Cole – TFRS #10

This week’s topic is about Fire Department fundraisers or “fill-the-boot” as some departments call it.  They raise money for new equipment, new trucks, and even money for the Fallen Firefighters Foundation and more.  It would be great if you could donate at least $5 when they have those events.  I think they would really appreciate it and it would help them out as well!  Tune in and find out more!
