Lexington Firefighters looking for the North Pole, need your help

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – The Lexington Fraternal Order of Firefighters needs your help to make the holidays brighter for children in Lexington.

The 2017 Lexington Fire Department Toy Drive starts the week of October 30, and firefighters are in need of a building to use as the “North Pole”, or collection center.

The Fire Department says they need access to the building from November 1 to January 1. They say they would like for the building to have restrooms, heat, plenty of parking, and be at least 15,000 square feet in size.

According to the Fire Department, designated office space would be helpful, but isn’t a must-have.

Lexington’s FOF has organized the event for the past 86  years.

If you know of a building that might be suitable, please contact Firefighter Houston at 859-523-9576 or e-mail houstont@lexingtonky.gov.
