Volunteer Firefighter brothers lost home to fire
Donation protected
The members of Waldens Creek Volunteer Fire Departmemt hope to help two of their fellow Volunteer Firefighter brothers, Sam and Malachi Torres, start to rebuild. A fire destroyed their home on May 21st, 2021. They are safe, but now all their belongings are lost. The WCVFD has set up this donation drive to help get them back on their feet.
Sam & Malachi give so much to this community by volunteering their time as firefighters and helping the community when needed. The Torres brothers recently helped a veteran stricken with COVID-19 by splitting wood to heat his home. And even more recently, volunteered to search for a missing hiker from Rhea County.
As Volunteer firefighters, the Torres brothers show up not always knowing all the details when they set out to answer a call. However, they both believe that doing their job, finding the lost in need of rescuing, preventing the spread of a fire, is more important than their own well-being, safety and comfort. Today, we ask that you take a moment to support them as they continue to serve their community amidst this tragedy.
The day after the Fire, they brushed their troubles aside and went to a ropes safety training to help better serve their community. #Dedication #Selflessness.
