City
of Tallahassee crews will deploy to Franklin County to assist with
recovery needs following the devastating fire that burned more than
950 acres in the neighboring community of Eastpoint on Sunday, June
24.
Crew
members from the City’s Underground Utilities and Public
Infrastructure will depart on Monday, July 9, bringing with them dump
trucks, excavators and other equipment and supplies to assist with
debris clean-up of the 36 homes that were destroyed during the fire.
“Tallahassee
is a community that cares,” Mayor Andrew Gillum said. “Our
residents immediately began collecting donations and delivering
supplies to our neighbors in Eastpoint and the City of Tallahassee
offered a lending hand with recovery efforts. I am extremely proud of
our crews for dedicating their time and energy to helping those in
need, and of our entire city for lending a hand when it was needed
most.”
In
addition, crews will bring with them food, clothing and other items
that have been donated by City employees.
