Disaster Action Team Responds to Pierce Street Fire

Written by Mary Lou Farnum, volunteer contributor

When emergency dispatchers call for Red Cross response to an emergency such as the recent Pierce Street industrial fire, Disaster Action Team (DAT) volunteers pride themselves on being on scene in an instant.  

Tuesday night one husband and wife team helped two families displaced as a result of the fire, made sure they had a safe place to stay and help provide for their other immediate needs.  

In addition, two other DAT volunteers delivered donated sandwiches from Chick Fil-A to the mobile command unit.  

When businesses burn, Potter County’s first responders work tirelessly to keep the fire from spreading and creating even more havoc in our community. The Red Cross is proud to support our firefighters and other responders.
