A San Francisco firefighter is focusing her fundraising efforts to help her fellow firefighters in Ukraine get equipment for search-and-rescue missions.
SAN FRANCISCO -- As Ukraine continues to face war against Russia hundreds of Bay Area organizations have stepped up to aid however they can.
"Once it was firefighter to firefighter, and we are a family," Buren told KPIX 5."Even if it's all the way across the world, I understand what they do. I don't understand what it is to do that in war, but I can only imagine." "What they're trying to do is they're trying to get their people to search and rescue buildings that have been collapsed and pull these people out and bring them to safety and bring them to the hospital. The ambulances can't get in there," Buren continued."Their fire engines and fire trucks can't get in there."It took just a few weeks to gather enough funds for one passenger van purchased in France.
"So they drove the vans right over the border here in Ukraine and the Kharkiv firefighters came and met them. And what we're talking about here also. Because once you're in Ukraine, this is a war zone," said Buren.
