Day 2, August 2 2024

Volunteers still needed. There is a great need for volunteer 4x4 drivers and vehicles to transport fire crews and volunteers from the meeting point, village of Mikrevo, to the fire. The job of a 4x4 and driver can be useful any time of the day or evening to help get folks up and then back down from the fire. If you know anyone with such a vehicle, now is the time to call them to hear if they can help. If not now then for the many more fires surely to come this month.
