Bossier firefighters seek help in fight against muscular dystrophy

Posted: Updated:
BOSSIER CITY, LA (KSLA) -

Members of the Bossier City Fire Department will be out this Labor Day weekend to ask folks to join them in the fight against neuromuscular disease.

The firefighters will take part in their Fill the Boot campaign to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

The money raised will go toward funding research, sending children to MDA summer camp and purchasing equipment such as wheel chairs and walkers for victims of neuromuscular disease.

The firefighters will be stationed at two intersections:

  • Barksdale Boulevard and Westgate Lane, and
  • East Texas Street and Airline Drive

They will be at those locations at various times until Monday, asking motorists to donate money toward the goal of filling their fire boots with cash.
