In neighboring Hood County, the Pecan Plantation Volunteer Fire Department sent some of its firefighters to help on Sunday night.
On Monday, residents began showing up with donations of water, drinks with electrolytes, snacks, Chapstick, sun block and other supplies to help the firefighters. "It warms my heart because this community is so giving with people when they need when our firefighters and our first responders are out there. We need to provide for them. We need to make sure they have everything that they need to do their job and to do it well," said Kim Skoog with the fire department who said if they're not out there with the support, the crews may go without a meal.
“We feel wonderful being able to help this community, it’s a great community and our firefighters and volunteer firefighters are out there fighting this in this heat, and what a horrible thing to happen and it’s so, we want to donate and help with Gatorade, drinks and waters, they need glove, snacks and lip gloss, something to help them cool down in this horrible heat," said Pepper Davis, a resident who donated items.
The fire department said it's still taking donations and any extras. They also give to other volunteer fire departments that may not have as many resources.
