The South Lake Tahoe Firemen’s Association and the South Lake Tahoe Fire Department are hosting the annual Fill the Boot for Burns fund raising event.

The event is May 3 from 5-9pm and May 4 from 10am-6pm. Local firefighters will be at the Raley’s shopping center at the Y and also at the intersection of Lake Tahoe Boulevard and Park Avenue near Stateline.

Look for the volunteers dressed in turnouts with their boots in hand collecting funds for burn victims. Donations will help support burn recovery programs, including Firefighters Kids Camp, and Little Heroes Preschool Burn Camp.

Similar “Boot Drives” are being held simultaneously throughout the nation.
