“It helps provide kids with the ability to go summer camp they have a MDA camp throughout the summer. Also some of the proceeds go to houses that need ramps or what not for wheelchairs and different accessories that the kids need.” said Firefighter Chad Brock.

Firefighters will be out Saturday on Zane Street from 10 am to 4 pm.
