DECATUR, Ala. — The Decatur Fire and Rescue Department is launching its inaugural "Heating up the Holidays" bicycle drive.
To participate, the department asks that you purchase a new children's bicycle at Target, Wal-Mart, or through Amazon as a donation. Bikes can be delivered to any Decatur Fire and Rescue station throughout the city or to the Decatur Public Safety Training Center located at 4119 Old Highway 31.

If you are unable to drop off the bike, you can contact Deputy Fire Marshal Kyle Brown at 256-341-4856 to schedule a pick-up time.
The department requests that donations are made by Monday, December 20.
“Our crews enter homes daily and are dedicated to the residents they serve. This year, we wanted to begin an initiative that would help us give back to Decatur in a new capacity. We just want to show how thankful we are for our community,” says Deputy Fire Marshal Kyle Brown.
