Firemen in Deal have already raised £2,000 from their collections in Deal High Street.
And if you are feeling festive, there is still time to donate.
The crew members will be outside Marks & Spencer today (Wednesday) and tomorrow (Christmas Eve) gratefully receiving donations from shoppers.
Fire safety advice can also be obtained by chatting to the firemen.
Shoppers can't miss them - they have their musical train set in the precinct which children will love to take time to look at.
Proceeds will be divided. Half will go to the Firefighters Charity, and the other half will be split between local good causes.
