SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -

Savannah-Metro Police officers and Southside firefighters competed on Friday afternoon in the third annual B & D Burger Eat-off fund-raiser.

They had to see who could eat a 3-pound burger the fastest. Contestants say it's great to come together to raise money for those in need.

B & D Burgers donated $1,000 to the Southside Fire Dept.'s charity of choice - the Southeast Burn Center. The center helps those burned in fires get the treatment they need to heal. 

"It feels good. It's a good charity. It's a good event. [It's] public safety agencies of Savannah working together to get these foundations funding that they need," said Joe Eblin, a Southside firefighter.
