The Lexington Fire Department says someone is trying to scam the public, and are using LFD’s good name in the process.
The fire chief says six people have been called over the past week. One victim says the caller asked for donation checks to be mailed to Kansas.

Although fire crews say they do raise funds throughout the year for events like ‘Shop-With-A-Firefighter’ and the Lexington Firefighter Toy Program, right now they are not asking for donations.
If you receive this call, do not give money to the caller. Hang up and call Lexington police.
