HARRISBURG, IL – (Hannah Gebresilassie, WSIL-TV. Please click on the link for the full story and video. Here is an excerpt below.)
The Harrisburg Fire Department is leading a drive in southern Illinois to collect bug spray to send to flood-recovery areas in Texas caused by Hurricane Harvey.
“We’re just trying to do our part,” said Beth Monfort, the Harrisburg Fire and Police Commissioner of Public Safety.
Harrisburg firefighters said they remember the deadly tornado that tore through the city in 2012, and the destruction it left.
“Until you run into some devastation like we did with the tornado back on that leap day, people don’t realize just how much that does affect you,” said Harrisburg Fire Chief John Gunning. “And what help that you did receive, how much you appreciate that.”
