Twelve-year-old Jacob Smith of Laneview raised $492.84 for the Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD) by selling snow cones at The Boatyard at Christchurch this past Saturday.
Jacob is the son of Henry and Christina Smith and is a rising seventh grader at St. Clare Walker Middle School. Jacob’s father manages The Boatyard at Christchurch, where a “boatel” fire on Feb. 15 broke out inside the marina’s boat storage facility.
“Jacob is aware of the importance the role of the fire department plays in the community,” said Christina.
