Firefighters plan fundraiser to help detective’s family

Kansas City, Kan., firefighters, Local 64, and the Kansas City, Kan., Fire Department are planning a fundraiser for Detective Brad Lancaster’s family.

The fundraiser will be similar to the “fill the boot” effort conducted by firefighters on street corners during Labor Day weekend.

Area Price Choppers in the area also conducted a fundraising effort for the slain detective’s family. They announced online that they raised $45,213 through a memorial fund at area Price Choppers for the detective’s family. The stores will contribute $2,500 more to the family, according to the announcement.

In addition, there is a memorial fund established for the family at the Greater KC Public Safety Credit Union locations, and also at Kansas City, Kan., police headquarters.
