Red Cross Responds to Fire in Belfast

Wellsville, NY – Members of the Southwestern NY American Red Cross Disaster Team responded to provide disaster relief following a home fire in Belfast early Tuesday morning.

Disaster Team volunteer Bob Shook responded to provide initial disaster assistance for one person.  Temporary housing, clothing, and meals are services typically offered to address emergency needs. The local Red Cross chapter will continue working with the families and their recovery process if additional services or referrals are necessary.
