Firefighters Want You to "Fill the Boot"

Firefighters Want You to "Fill the Boot" - Friday, August 28, 2009 at 6:18PM EST

Williamsport, Lycoming County-

Firefighters in Williamsport pounded the pavement Friday to support a great cause. They're conducting a "Fill the Boot" campaign to benefit children with muscular dystrophy.

Seven-year-old Carlee Webber is one of the children they're raising money for. She doesn't let the disease slow her down.

Her mother, Nicole Lucas, says even the smallest donations can help the firefighters reach their goal.

Lucas said, "I think that they're heroes. That's always been my take on it- because they spend so much time outside of their work schedule just trying to help."

Fire engineer Tracey Harer explained, "We do it every year to help the kids. That's the main reason, to help the kids. It's been a slow year for us. The weather has hurt but we'll be out here tomorrow as well."

If you'd like to help "Fill the Boot," stop by downtown Williamsport Saturday from 9AM and 2PM.
