Monahas Firefighters Given Relief With Bottled Water Drive.
It’s the shortage of another necessity, that’s threatening their safety during a very busy season.
One person decided to step up and start a movement to support these emergency responders.
The wife of a Monahans fire fighter decided a shortage of drinking water for some of the city’s bravest was unacceptable.
So she started a water bottle drive and got the word out to the community.
She says she didn’t expect such a huge response in just two days.
CBS 7 was there when one local business dropped off several cases of water.
“We just feel like as a major company in the area that it’s our responsibility to help out and do what we can,” said Keith Wilson, an employee at Energy Transfer that donated bottled water.
You know a small community, I mean a lot of times they don’t have the resources and the things that they need,” Wilson.
If you would like to donate bottled water, drop off locations include the Child’s Play Learning Center at 500 E. 16th Street or the Monahans Chamber of Conference.
