Emery also had some extra fire service support today from his grandpa, Dave McConnell, retired Captain with Clarkston Professional Firefighters Local 2299.

Pretty special to have generations of firefighters, Emery, his friends, and our community all coming together to help kick MD’s butt! 💪🧑‍🚒❤️

Sadly, we live in a world where people will take advantage of our community's generosity—and try to steal from a cause meant to help sick children.

The individuals reportedly collecting money with a boot in Clarkston are not associated with Lewiston Firefighters Local 1773 or MDA Fill the Boot.

You can show your support for the real Fill the Boot campaign tomorrow at 19th Avenue and 21st Street in Lewiston, where your Lewiston firefighters will be collecting for MDA.

Please share and help spread the word.

The Clarkston Police Department was alerted yesterday (Thurs) to some guys dressed like firefighters holding a boot and asking for donations. One of the locations they were seen was at 13th Street and Highland Avenue. Investigators would like to hear from people who donated to the fraudulent activities.

Tomorrow (Sat) The Asotin County Fire District and Lewiston Fire Department will be out doing the annual, legitimate, “Fill The Boot” for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. You’ll know it’s real because they’ll have cones directing traffic, signs, fire engines, and ambulances.

If you unknowingly donated yesterday to the fraudulent, fake firefighters, call the Clarkston P.D. at 509-758-1680.
