Brothers and Sisters;
On Monday, September 7, the B-Shift was tasked with a request from The Cameron Peak Fire to assist with a strike team due to the exponential growth of the fire near Ft. Collins. It was Labor Day, where all support staff is off, and hoping to enjoy time with friends and family. Our Denver Fire Fighters responded amazingly. |

Local 3214 is filling the Boot!
08/23/20 - Mountain View Professional Fire Fighters 
This year we are still conducting our annual MDA Fill the BOOT drive. you may or may not see us out and about due to Social Distancing. Click on the link below if you would like to donate this year and click on support me to donate.
Every day, children are born with muscular dystrophy and adults are diagnosed with ALS and other life-threatening diseases that take away their most basic freedoms - like walking, talking, eating, hugging, and ultimately life itself.
For more than sixty years, fire fighters have been Filling the Boot on street corners (and I'll still be there!)- raising money to help MDA fight back. Now I'm asking you to help me Fill the Boot online.
The money I raise will help children and adults in our community, and will also help support innovative research to change the future for people with neuromuscular disease.
Please make a donation. Thank you!
