Thank you Avoca Volunteer Fire Department!

avoca VFD waconda fire

Easter weekend, AVFD assisted with the large
fires in Waconda and Beaver Lake. These fires involved treacherous terrain with very large bluffs and ravines in a vast wooded area. The majority of the area had to be accessed by foot and UTV's due to the inability to get trucks into the area until heavy equipment arrived to widen the foot paths.
Fire departments from across the state were brought in to assist with this large operation. It was amazing to see all of these departments from great distances showing up in Cass County's time of need!
At this time, the command center in Union is good on donated items, but if you would still like to donate, please consider a monetary donation to the local fire department in your area! They are always needed and very much appreciated!
