The Effingham Fire Department said a fundraising scam is taking place locally.

The fire department received a call from a resident who said she was contacted about giving to the local department. Fire officials want you to know that the fire department does not use any fundraising service or telemarketing firm to solicit donations over the phone.

The fire department says if someone calls asking for a donation, DO NOT GIVE. 

For more information, phone the fire department central station at 217-342-2555.
