Making a Difference: Making a Difference – Henderson Professional Fire Fighters & Henderson Fire Fighters Benevolent Association
House fires can have a devastating effect on the lives of anyone who suffers through them. Henderson Professional Fire Fighters and the Henderson Fire Fighters Benevolent Association (HFBA) helped out those displaced from their homes by donating $2,000 on January 4th to the Southern Nevada Chapter of American Red Cross’s “Fire Hurts… Red Cross Helps” campaign.
A joint effort by the American Red Cross and Professional Fire Fighters of Nevada, the campaign hopes to raise $300,000 in order to help fund emergency assistance programs with all the money raised staying right here in Southern Nevada to help benefit local families. On average, the Southern Nevada Chapter of the American Red Cross responds to a residential fire at least once a day with volunteers on call to respond twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Thanks to contributions and donations from citizens across Southern Nevada, the Red Cross continues to provide its assistance as an outright gift to the local population, ensuring that families in need across the region have someone to turn to when times are desperate.
“In our service to the community, we respond to fires that often not only impact individual families but numerous displaced residents,” says Dan Pentkowski, president of the Henderson Professional Fire Fighters. “It is important to support the American Red Cross because they provide desperately needed assistance. We are proud to assist the Red Cross in this campaign.”
