In support of our local fire station, we will hosted a Firefighter’s Toy Drive. Toys had to be new and unwrapped for children ages 0–12. The target age groups for toys were ages 0-3 and 9-12 years of age.

A couple of firefighters from McKenzie Towne Station 30 stopped by the toy drive on their way back to the station.
