From Texas to Alabama, members of the International Association of Firefighters are here to lend a helping hand. "We're here to help the firefighters in the area that have been affected by the hurricane that have home damage," said Danny Todd, 14th District Vice President for the International Association of Firefighters. Local firefighters who are in need of generators, gas, or help with a damaged home can apply for disaster relief from the foundation. In the past three days, 80 of 125 firefighters have been helped by members of IAFF. "[We] help put tarps on their house. If their house has been flooded we'll do what's called a muck-out job so we'll take out everything that's flooded, cut out the sheetrock, and pull that out so that way we can start rebuilding their house," said Brandon Day, a member of the IAFF from Texas.
