OTTSVILLE, Pa. — Pennsylvania firefighters are packing up gear to donate to Kentucky firefighters affected by recent floods, CBS News Philly reported.
“Fire gear, self-contained breathing apparatus, hand tools, hose, a whole pallet of boots,” Palisades Regional Fire Rescue Chief William Shick said.
Shick put a call for gear donations after seeing pictures of flooded fire stations.
Four days later, neighboring companies and some from New Jersey donated more than $500,000 worth of supplies.
“The response was overwhelming,” Shick said.
