Red Cross Helps Danbury Family After Fire

The American Red Cross is helping one family – five adults – three children after a fire today on Grove Place, Danbury. The Red Cross provided assistance to meet the family’s immediate needs. Responders included: John Lennon, Alex Ferreira and Amy Thomas.

The Red Cross is also providing comfort kits containing personal care items such as toothbrushes, deodorant; shaving supplies and other items a resident might not have been able to gather in the rush to escape the fire. In addition, a recovery envelope containing information helpful to families recovering from a fire, including tips on cleanup; notification of important contacts; dealing with damaged items and more was provided. 

Those affected will connect with Red Cross caseworkers in the coming days to work on a longer-term recovery plan. The Red Cross is able to provide assistance through the generosity of our donors and the commitment of our volunteers.
