Local fire department collecting used gear for a good cause

Posted: Updated:

COLUMBIA COUNTY, N.Y. -- A fire department in Columbia County is asking local firefighters for their used turnout gear, which will then be sent to needy countries.

The Greenport Fire Department is doing this through an organization called the international fire relief mission.

They already know who's going to ship everything, now they just need the gear.

If you have equipment you'd like to donate, please contact Paul D'Onofrio at 518.821.3343 or 518.828.1339.
