VIDEO: Agencies across North Alabama are stepping in to provide crucial items for victims of Hurricane Helene.
One fire department in Section has received a flood of donations after firefighters made a request through social media.
Chief Jimmy Jones of both the Section and Macedonia Fire departments said they are collecting donations of items to take to both Tennessee and North Carolina on Wednesday.
He says their departments received life-saving assistance during the 2011 storms, and he wants to return the favor. ”In 2011, we needed the help and we were blessed to have people come out and help us so we felt the need to help them,” Jones said.
Jones said both departments are still requesting non-perishable food items, toiletries, and water.
