Walker Furniture has donated more than $100,000 worth of mattresses and they say it is all for a good reason.

"They're always there for us. Everything—fires, floods, any little thing. You call and the firefighters are there for us always. So, as a furniture store, Walker Furniture, what can we do for them?" she asks herself.

The company came up with the idea to deliver over 150 new mattresses to local fire houses.
