East Texas Firefighters Need Your Help With Water

East Texas firefighters are battling the summer heat just like the rest of us, but they're going through an incredible amount of water while working to keep our communities safe.

With temperatures staying high, firefighters across Smith County are asking for help from the community. They are currently going through large amounts of bottled water and are asking residents to donate water at several local drop-off locations.

The donated water will be distributed to firefighters throughout the county.

East Texans Are Already Showing Their Support

We've already seen the generosity of East Texans on display.

The Lindale Fire Department recently took to Facebook to thank the community for donating bottled water and Gatorade to its firefighters.

It's a great reminder that even though many East Texas families are dealing with higher costs these days, people continue to find ways to support the first responders who protect their communities.

And right now, something as simple as a case of bottled water can go a long way.

If you're able to donate, consider dropping off some water and helping keep an East Texas firefighter hydrated while they're working to keep the rest of us safe.
