Firefighters with the Roseburg Fire Department are holding their annual Fill the Boot fundraiser this year, but are doing it virtually.

Since 1954, members of the International Association of Firefighters have supported the Muscular Dystrophy Association by standing on street corners in their community to ask for donations to battle the disease and to fund family services.

Due to COVID-19, the effort has shifted to an online campaign which is taking place through Labor Day.

More information is also posted on the Roseburg Professional Firefighters Local 1110 and the City of Roseburg Fire Department Facebook pages.

Scott Cooper from RFD was on the Morning Conversation Friday on News Radio 1240 KQEN to talk more about the effort. That interview is a KQEN Podcast at www.541radio.com
