KPRC TV's Jennifer Reyna hosted a chocolate chip cookie contest called the Cookie Throwdown, and asked local firefighters to be the judges.

Pasadena Station 8 Firefighters answered the call and gladly hellped out to further the MDA's cause beyond the typical Fill the Boot drives that they participate in annually.

Captain Cliff Wedgeman, Lieutenant George Higgins, and Firefighters Heather Haskins as well as Jay Farrell pitched in and washed down many cookies with Borden's milk, a contest sponsor.
