Peachtree

City firefighters will be standing on local street

corners today and Saturday with boot in hand.

For the

second straight year, the Fire Department is taking part

in the "Give Burns the Boot" fund drive,

raising money for the Georgia Firefighters Burn

Foundation.

Money

raised helps burn victims and their families throughout

the state. Grady Hospital's burn center is one of the

chief recipients of these funds, and part of the money is

used to help support educational programs that help

children learn to protect themselves from burns.

The

Peachtree City Fire Department is comprised of both

volunteer and career firefighters and emergency medical

personnel, and they will be giving their time and effort

to participate in this event. They will be looking to top

last year's total of more than $3,300 collected for the

Burn Foundation.
