❤️ West Virginia, we need your help. ❤️

As many of our neighbors' lives have been upended by devastating flooding across the Mountain State, the need for community support has never been greater.

Flooding doesn't just impact homes and roads. It also leads to blood drive cancellations, transportation challenges, and fewer available donors at a time when we are already in an EMERGENCY BLOOD SHORTAGE. While communities focus on recovery efforts, the need for blood doesn't stop.

If you're looking for a way to help during this difficult time, please consider donating blood. It's a simple act that can make an immediate, lifesaving impact.

Let's show the strength, compassion, and resilience that make West Virginia special. Please donate if you're able and share this post to help spread the word.

Morgantown Fire was able to send 7 Firefighters to attend the Swiftwater Technician course this last week in Fairmont. They spent the week training on boat operations at Valley Falls State Park preparing for swift water emergencies.

This endeavor was funded by an Assistance to Firefighters (AFG) grant awarded by FEMA as a collaborative effort increase readiness throughout the region.

Attending were personnel from Clarksburg Firefighters IAFF Local 89, Morgantown Firefighters IAFF Local 313, Fairmont Firefighters - IAFF Local 318, and Bridgeport Firefighters- IAFF Local 3692.

The camaraderie of training side-by-side, cooking out lunches together, and passion for the job were second to none!
