The Scottsdale Fire Department proudly announces a partnership this holiday season with the U.S. Marines Toys for Tots program. During our special charity event on Dec. 10, each child who donates a new, unwrapped toy will be given a free ride on a Scottsdale Fire engine. Parents also will have a chance to discuss fire safety with Scottsdale Fire personnel and receive free informational brochures.
