(LEESBURG) Nov. 22, 2009 — Red Cross volunteers have given help this weekend at a fatal fire in Paisley (near Leesburg) that took the life of one of the two people living in the home.
The fire struck in the early morning on Saturday, Nov. 21, and destroyed the home on Leulla Avenue. Volunteers helped the surviving resident by providing financial assistance to obtain food and clothing, as well as referrals to partner agencies and organizations for additional assistance.
Every time volunteers go out to a local disaster, they assistance they provide is provided free of charge by voluntary donations of time and money from the community. Cold weather brings more fires for many reasons, including misuse of space heaters or holiday decorations, as well as cooking mishaps. Please be careful. Check your smoke detectors and install fresh batteries. Also, read up on fire prevention tips at www.midfloridaredcross.org.
