VOLUSIA COUNTY CURTAILS FIRE VOLUNTEER/ DONATIONS; SUGGESTS HELPING FLAGLER COUNTYThe outpouring of donations from Volusia County residents and from around the nation during the County’s wildfire outbreak has been phenomenal. Individuals and businesses have opened their hearts and pocketbooks, to help with the fire relief efforts by supporting the valiant firefighters and support personnel.
Due to the tremendous generosity and, now, reduced need, there is no further requirement for volunteers or supplies donations to the firefighting endeavors in Volusia County.
"We will be directing all callers to Flagler County now," said Deanie Lowe, ESF-15 Coordinator in charge of volunteers and donations for Volusia County during the emergency situation. "You could say we’ve been there and done that," said Lowe, "And, now, we can show our generosity to our friends to the north."
Anyone willing to donate supplies or to volunteer their services to Flagler County is encouraged to call (904) 586-2159. Items needed in Flagler include: work pants, shirts, jackets, gloves, helmets, goggles, powder, trash bags, snacks, pillows and blankets.
