Firefighters collect school tools to support students in need

CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Fire Department opened all of its stations Thursday so you can drop off your donations during our 9 School Tools campaign.

Charlotte Fire houses are open 24/7 to serve the community, which means they are collecting school tools 24/7.
