BREVARD COUNTY • PALM BAY, FLORIDA — Palm Bay Fire-Rescue crew from Station 5/Engine 5 “A”-shift along with chiefs and volunteers presented a check to the American Red Cross Space Coast Chapter Tuesday afternoon to support its continued local efforts in disaster relief and crisis intervention.
A weekend “Fill the Boot” drive at the Malabar Rd. Wal-Mart raised more than $1,800 in partnership with the Palm Bay Firefighters Community Benevolent Fund to help support local charities.
The American Red Cross Space Coast Chapter plays a vital role in providing disaster relief and recovery.
It is one of many local charities the firefighters support.
