The East Pierce Professional Firefighters Local 3520 wish to thank all those who donated to the recent Fill the Boot for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). With your help, the firefighters raised more than $17,000.

East Pierce firefighter Andrew House spearheaded the campaign. He presented the check September 6, during the national telethon.

“Once again, this community has been incredibly generous. Your donations will help families in our area who are struggling with this disease. Thank you,” he said.
