Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue (TMFR) is taking donations for its annual toy drive.

One of their paramedic engineers said it all started last year with his daughter.

"She has a rare genetic condition. With that comes stays at the Ronald McDonald house and in the hospital," said Tony Schiro with TMFR.

Schiro said he would often take his daughter across the country for treatments. There, he got inspired.

"We had an event in Delaware that kind of made a huge impact on me personally," he said.

He wanted to help give back to the Truckee Meadows community, so he helped start the TMFR Toy Drive last year. He said it was a great success.

"We're still extremely grateful for the community support, and we're hoping to go even bigger this year," Schiro said.
