The American Red Cross is helping two families – three adults– one child after a fire today on Cannonball Dr., Danbury. The Red Cross provided assistance to meet the families’ immediate needs. Responders included: Terri Thompson, Art Hopkins, John Lennon 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 need when suddenly displaced from their home by a 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.
