Firefighters all across Northwest Arkansas are coming together to help out one of their own in Rogers.
Retired Fire Captain Bud Planchon is fighting for his life, between a cancer diagnosis and medical bills.
So the Northwest Arkansas Natural F.O.O.L.S. is hosting a fundraiser at  On The Border to help cover medical expenses.
"When you head something like that about a fellow brother you're arms open up naturally its quite obvious with all the firefighters here all over Northwest Arkansas tonight its just a willingness to help others, especially one of our own," says Scott Mendham, with the Northwest Arkansas Natural F.O.O.L.S.
Ten percent of all purchases are being donated to the Planchon family.
