Scouts chip in for Santa

With toy donations down this year, Glendale firefighters at Station 29 were more than elated Friday to accept gifts from local Boy Scouts for their annual Spark of Love Toy Drive.

Dozens of Boy Scouts delivered toys to the fire station on Honolulu Avenue, hoping to help enlarge the Fire Department’s cache of gifts that will be distributed to poor and low-income children in the community this holiday season.

Firefighters are also looking to gather more toy donations this Sunday at Metrolink’s annual Holiday Toy Express, which will make its stop in downtown Burbank at about 5 p.m. before heading to Glendale’s train station at about 5:45 p.m.
