During August, the fire department worked to help local students through its Fill the Fire Truck with School Supplies campaign.

In a final tally, the department said they received 1002 pounds of food and school supplies, plus $1864 in cash, which they will use to purchase additional supplies, including clothes and shoes.

All donations are for students in schools within the Paducah city limits.
