First responders "Operation Warm"

CENTER CITY (WPVI) -- Local kids will stay warm this winter, thanks to Philadelphia first responders.

The firefighters and paramedics union is again partnering with city council for Operation Warm.

Starting Friday, they'll be raising money to buy new jackets for underprivileged students.

Since it started in 1998, the operation has provided coats to two million children nationwide.

This year's mission goes until December 18th.
