COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- The Colorado Springs firefighters that worked tirelessly to spare our community from the most devastating fire in Colorado history are now working to replant and regrow the area it destroyed.
"I'm new to the community and it really just meant a lot to see how the community came together and helped support," Laura Trivett a Colorado Springs resident said.
Colorado Springs locals have shown their support for the cause, and bought 1,000 water bottles off of www.regrowco.org.
But now that they're narrowing in on their goal of selling 1,600 water bottles, a two-man crew with the Colorado Springs Professional Firefighters Local 5, worked the Women's Expo Saturday to help push their sales and spread the world.
"I just think they did amazing work and I wanted to support them," Bruce Roderick, a Colorado Springs resident said.
One man at the expo showed his support for the firefighters union by donating a brand new hatchet.
He was one of several people that stopped by just to say thanks for the hard work.
"We were glad to be able to help and be apart of that and try and do everything that we could because it's our community as well," Eric Ruettinger, of the Colorado Springs Professional Firefighters, Local 5 said.
And there's no one that cares more about Colorado Springs than the firefighters risking their lives to save it.
