Thanks to the overwhelming success of the Wilton Firefighters Association Chili Cookoff on Oct. 12, the association was able to donate $10,000 to the Firefighters Burn Institute during a brief ceremony on Dec. 14 at the main fire station. The Firefighters Burn Institute, in partnership with UC Davis Medical Center, supports the Firefighters Burn Institute Regional Burn Center, which provides comprehensive care for burn patients.
