Red Cross Responds to Fire in Jamestown


The Southwestern NY American Red Cross Disaster Action Team (DAT) responded to provide disaster relief following an apartment fire on Lafayette Street in Jamestown in the evening of October 28th.
DAT volunteers Jeanie Shiffer and Phil Baker of Jamestown were on scene to provide the initial disaster assistance. Temporary housing, clothing, and meals are services typically offered to address emergency needs. The local Red Cross chapter will continue working with the family and their recovery process if additional services or referrals are necessary.
All disaster assistance offered by the American Red Cross is complimentary and made possible by generous contributions from the American people and residents of Chautauqua County. The Northern and Southern United Way organizations of Chautauqua County also provide financial support to the local Red Cross mission.
