At the 32nd annual “Fill the Boots for Burns” in the Sunrise Mall parking lot Citrus Heights February 7, we had a booth at which we handed out whistles, flashlights, emergency window punch, hammer and seat belt cutters, fireman related stickers, bracelets with emergency response info, and a little fire figurines. (We didn't give the window breaker/seat belt cutters to the kids. One of our members observed that “literally every single man who won those gave them to the women in their lives, apparently thinking that women drive off cliffs and land under water more frequently than men.”) The Firefighters Burn Institute’s annual fundraiser offers safety education, live demos, and resources to help prevent burn injuries. Donations are used to improve burn treatment and to fund burn recovery programs.

Also on February 7 from 11am to 2pm, we worked with Helping Hands to vet, sort and distribute 12,300 Valentine cards to seniors at a care facility in Orangevale. ... See MoreSee Less
