Dr. Lori Moore-Merrell returned to western NC this week, joined by Brian Taylor, the NC State Fire Marshal. They checked in with rural fire departments outside Asheville to learn their needs, check on recovery, and organize assistance. At each fire department, Chiefs explained how volunteer, national, local, and responder organizations have assisted their communities. Despite so much devastation, people have shown up and helped, providing hope for the future.
