Escambia Firefighters Charity To Open House For Families Displaced By Fire

January 2, 2018

The Escambia County Professional Firefighters Charity is planning to open a house to provide temporary refuge for families displaced by residential fires in Escambia County.

The charity plans to provide a comfortable, safe, and supportive place of temporary refuge for families that lose their home to fire.

“We are proud and excited to be the first to provide this level of assistance to displaced families in our area,” Ian Sumner, Escambia County Professional Firefighters Charity coordinator said. “Being displaced from your home due to a fire and sometimes losing everything is a very devastating event. While there are many charities in the area that step up and help these families, we hope to bring it all together and make the devastation sting a little less. We plan to do this by offering a temporary home along with assistance with walking through the process of connecting with all available resources and getting their life back together. Families will hopefully feel a little more relaxed and be able to mentally heal a little quicker.”

The firefighters charity plans to release more details Friday on the house and how the community can help.
