Want to help out the East Contra Costa fire fighters? Here’s how

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY—East Contra Costa Fire Protection District has had many generous community members asking what they can do to help out or to show their appreciation to the hard-working fire fighters. They greatly appreciate the food they have received. However, they are asking that donations be directed to those who are being directly affected by the fires.

The American Red Cross is helping evacuated residents find temporary hotel rooms. If you’d like to support them, please donate at:
