It’s an “all hands” operation for more than two dozen members of Hackensack Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 2081 and Hackensack Professional Fire Officers IAFF Local 3172, accompanied by their loved ones, leading up to this weekend’s MDA Labor Day telethon.

They’re hoping to reach their fundraising goal of $10,000, which will be used towards MDA research, medicine, muscle therapy, and the much anticipated summer camp.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the International Association of FireFighters’ efforts in filling the boot for the MDA.
