The Henry County Fire Department collected $44,432 for the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation during its three-day “Give Burns The Boot”® drive held April 5, 12, and 26.

 Funds collected through the boot drive will be used to support the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation’s mission of partnering with the fire service and burn care community to provide fire safety and prevention education, support medical facilities and assist burn survivors in their recovery.

  A portion of the total funds raised is returned to the fire department to support local education and prevention efforts. Ten percent of each department’s total dollar amount raised is returned to the department for fire safety and burn education efforts. By supporting the Boot Drive, the public is also supporting their local fire department and their own community.
