Keep an eye out for our Mason City firefighters this weekend as they hit the streets supporting MDA! Every donation helps make a difference. Thank you, Mason City, for always showing up! ❤️

🚒🔥 This Labor Day weekend, fire fighters across America are answering the call once again.

More than 400 Fill the Boot fundraisers across 40+ states will help advance research, expand specialized care, strengthen advocacy, and support people living with ALS, muscular dystrophy, and more than 300 neuromuscular diseases. 💪

This year also marks an expanded Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) collaboration focused on understanding why fire fighters face an increased risk of developing ALS and how research can help change the future. 💙💛

For more than 72 years, IAFF members have raised more than $720 million through Fill the Boot. Together, we can keep fueling progress and supporting families every step of the way.

Thank you to The Des Moines Area Metro FOOLS for partnering with the Mason City Fire Department to host this outstanding hands-on training opportunity.

Firefighters from across the region spent the day sharpening essential fireground skills through realistic training evolutions, including forcible entry, search techniques, and ground ladders. Opportunities like these strengthen our firefighters, our departments, and the communities we serve.

Thank you to everyone who participated, instructed, and helped make this training a success. We appreciate the commitment to continuous learning and look forward to future training opportunities together.
