As firefighters in Douglas County continue to battle intense conditions, the local community is rallying behind them. A single phone call to Geoff Blair and his staff at Walmart resulted in a generous meal prepared for the hardworking fire crews. Deputy Evans ensured the meals were promptly delivered to those on the front lines.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is urging residents to avoid burning, emphasizing the strain firefighters are facing. In a sobering reminder of the dangers, one firefighter was transported to the hospital due to smoke inhalation.
“These men and women are incredible, but they desperately need a break,” the sheriff’s office stated. “Please keep them in your prayers.”
Community members are encouraged to remain vigilant and avoid outdoor burning to prevent further strain on emergency responders.
