Monroe County Fire Rescue Donates Collected Items to Key West Cares for Bahamian Hurricane Dorian Relief

MONROE COUNTY, FL – Monroe County Fire Rescue’s Station 8 crew dropped donations collected by the community to Key West Cares on Stock Island on Tuesday. Monroe County fire stations from Tavernier to Stock Island were collection sites for hurricane relief supplies. Two large truckloads of supplies were collected during a two-week time period for the hurricane affected country.

“Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible,” said Tony Perez of Monroe County Fire Rescue and President of the Professional Firefighters of Monroe County 3909. “We all know too well how hurricanes can affect our islands and being able to pay it forward feels good for all of us who were able to help out.”

The donations will be delivered to Green Turtle Cay, Key West’s Sister City. Key West Cares is an organized group of community leaders and citizens, officials, church leaders, and national and international partners working with the Bahamian government to coordinate post-hurricane Dorian emergency aid to Green Turtle Cay.
