Bloomington Firefighters have out done themselves.

Bloomington Firefighters Union Vice President Clayton Matteson says the fill the boot drive for MDA raised $16,000 more than they have in any other year.

“I told my guys that I would be extremely proud of them if we hit $10,000 this year because that would double our yearly average up to that point and that was our goal,” said Matteson.

Nearly $24,000 dollars was raised this year. Firefighters across the nation take part in filling the boot for MDA.
