How you can help

Firefighters are overwhelmed with donations of water and food. At this time, money is needed most.

Donations may be made at any Bank of America or Wells Fargo branch. At Bank of America locations, ask for the Waterfall fire fund. The bank started the fund with a $20,000 donation. At Wells Fargo, which donated $10,000, ask for the American Red Cross fund. For details call the Red Cross at 856-1000, Wells Fargo at 884-1110 or Bank of America at 687-7001.

Donations can also be made to the Carson City and Lyon County fire departments who have both lost fire vehicles and to local charities which will help people throughout the year.
