Firefighters will be taking donations for the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation, which was founded in 1982 by a group of DeKalb County firefighters. Over the last 28 years, the foundation has grown to incorporate the entire state and expanded its work to include all Georgians. In 1990, the Give Burns The Boot campaign was started to support the foundation’s efforts, and since that time firefighters have continued their support by collecting more than $11 million.
For more information about the Give Burns the Boot drive, contact the Cartersville Fire Department at 770-387-5635.
