Texas Wild Fires!

Dear Commons Community,

A fellow volunteer firefighter sent me the URL with photos of the Texas wild fires that have scorched millions of acres and have resulted in losses of hundreds of millions of dollars.  They have also sadly claimed the lives of two volunteer firefighters.     If you would like to contribute to a fund, the Texas Forest Service has established the VFD Emergency Assistance Fund to help volunteer fire departments battling the wildfires. Donations are tax deductible and can be earmarked for particular departments, counties or regions. All proceeds (100 percent) will be distributed to volunteer fire departments via grants for firefighting expenses.

To donate or if you have questions about how you can help, email HelpingTexas@tfs.tamu.edu.

Tony
