This is just the load that we got at baker rural fire, Steven Harper and Kara miller were busy delivering donated items to fire departments around baker county and range land protection services , all this stuff was donated by usda foods from ode, I want to thank them for the generous donation, remember fire season has just started we are just a month into it things could get worse before they can get better ,
And a big thank you goes out to all the people who have donated items and money in any of the go fund me accounts that have been set up to support those folks in the fight ,i was reluctant to ask for money being we are volunteers but without help we would be limited in our ability to preform services for an extended length of time thank you to all, and thank you to all the folks that are on the front lines trying to make a difference. Buzz Harper fire chief and baker county citizen!!!
