Day One of Fill the Boot for Jerry's Kids

Montgomery County Fire Fighters raised over $37,000.00 on day one under some extreme conditions. A very heavy 9-1-1 call load with one working fire involving Hazardous Materials and the Silver Spring hostage situation which depleted about 1/2 the fire stations in the lower end of the county for most of the day.

Germantown Station 29 was the top station for the day raising $11,510.18 Congratulation Station 29 B Shift!!!!!

Thank you to all the citizens who donated Wednesday. Fire Fighters will be out again today and tomorrow.

You will see many of our fire fighter’s at various intersections throughout the county, fire boot in hand, accepting donations for this very worthy cause.
