On Tuesday, the department posted photos on their Facebook page of members loading up pallets of supplies to prepare to sent out.

"It's the generosity of the community that makes us one," the Facebook post reads. "Keep in mind, we are not done, this is only the first round."

A total of 13 pallets full of supplies were sent out to Texas, according to John Bicocchi, President of the Commack Fire Department said.

"It's overwhelming the amount of donations we received in just four days," he said. "Donations have been coming in like crazy. It's nice to see the community coming together to help our neighbors in Texas."

The department will be continuing to collect donations until it "starts to slow down." Supplies can be dropped off at the department headquarters on 6309 Jericho Turnpike.
