Monrovia Firefighters Turn Over Toys and Cash to Unity Center

Today the Monrovia Fire Department's Spark of Love toy drive turned over more than a thousand toys and $6,000 to Foothill Unity Center to make local kids' Christmases a bit brighter. City spokesman Dan Bell said the firefighters did even better than last year, when, he said, it appears a lackluster economy and rainy days depressed giving. Firefighter Ernie Moreno was the driving force behind the drive.

Channel 7 Eyewitness News, a sponsor of the event, showed up to report the event.
