Central Pierce Fire and Rescue Collecting Donations to Help Fellow Firefighters Affected by Hurricane Sandy

Sometimes, those who save lives need help, too.

Central Pierce Fire and Rescue is working with Friends of Firefighters, a non-profit founded after 9/11 that benefits the New York Fire Department community, to provide relief in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

Central Fire's mission is to collect enough donations to fill a 52-foot trailer bound for New York. Donations will be given to members of FDNY and their families, active and retired, who suffered from the devestation destruction of the hurricane.

Donations will be accepted at all 12 Central Pierce Fire stations through the next two weeks.

Items needed include things like heaters, oscillating fans, school supplies, work gloves, Ziploc gallon bags, generators, hand carts and more.
