Tiverton Fire Department Local 1703 will hit the streets with boots in hand asking pedestrians, motorists, customers and other passersby to make a donation to MDA on Saturday, August 26 and September 2 at the intersection of Bulgarmarsh, Crandall and Stafford Street from 9 a.m. to noon .

Meanwhile, Portsmouth firefighters will set up ‘fill the boot’ stations in their town.
