Today was the day to fill the boot and a lot of people did. City firefighters, members of IAFF Local 896, were positioned on Ellicott, Main, and Court streets this morning to collect donations from passing motorists as a fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
It was another banner year for the firefighters with a new record amount of $9,635.39, according to Local President Greg Ireland.
