CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Firefighters with the Corpus Christi Fire Department are looking to fill their boots, and they need your help.
Starting Friday, firefighters will be hanging out around different intersections across town for their annual Fill the Boot Campaign.
The fundraiser helps raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
According to Kassandra Goce with CCFD, the fire department is known for raising the most money in all of Texas and Oklahoma.
"We are a strong community. I mean we, ya know, every where has its up and downs, but corpus has really shown its strength in numbers whenever we do come together, especially whenever its for a good cause. It's very heart warming to see just the strength that corpus has whenever we do come together for a cause," she said.
Last year, the fire department raised over $128,000.
This year's Fill the Boot dates will be March 10, 17 and 24.
