Duluth Fire & 148th Air National Guard Fire Team Participating in ‘Fill the Boot’ Program

DULUTH, Minn.– Over the course of three days this week Duluth will have some firefighter visitors around town.

They are participating in the nationwide ‘Fill the Boot’ program.

Since 1954, the International Association of Firefighters has helped raised money for Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Duluth Fire as well as the 148th Air National Guard fire team will be scattered around numerous Super One storefronts.

One of the firefighters told FOX 21 it’s a good feeling to be involved with this program.

“I was actually working on this yesterday and like to see the actual support from everybody that comes out. And, you know, every other person that walks by drops in something, whether it’s, you know, change or big bills, whatever like it’s, it’s impressive to see the kind of support we get from the community,” said Dylan Hagen, Firefighter, Duluth Fire.

The Duluth Fire and 148th Fighter Wing will continue this fundraiser until tomorrow from 3-5 PM.
