Go fund me for Mid Coast Fire Brigade

Every opportunity I get, I support our volunteer fire departments. I do that regularly with Big Sur Fire but have only done it occasionally for Mid Coast Fire Brigade. Yesterday, I got this request, and immediately said ”Yes.” There are prize drawings that will be held for donors, as well. Check it out and donate. They were on the front lines for the Colorado Fire last month.

Hi, Kate.
My name is Will Bans. I teach at Carmel River Elementary and from 2012-21 I taught at Captain Cooper. I just launched a fundraiser for the Mid-Coast Fire Brigade in Palo Colorado and for a scholarship. I know your blog is pretty much all news, but I thought I would share with you regardless in an effort to spread the word.Thank you!Link: https://gofund.me/ff8e1e68—

  • As my former boyfriend, Andy Van Horn, was a volunteer for the Mid Coast Fire Brigade and died as a result from injuries sustained in a cliff side rescue attempt, you bet I will donate. They named their community room in his honor - don’t know if it still is, but it was nice at the time. We had his memorial at the site of the new HQ prior to construction.

  • I encourage as many as possible to contribute to Mid Coast Fire. They are dedicated, well trained...and clearly a labor of love, and a gift to Palo Colorado and the mid-coast. All are Volunteers except the Chief Cheryl Goetz. Well trained, dedicated and standing by to respond to any kind of emergency in the Canyon and the mid-central coast. Do it now!
    Thanks Kate for promoting this opportunity .

  • Have to make a correction on my last post....the Chief...Cheryl Goetz (Mid-Coast) is also a volunteer. No body is on a payroll. My bad on this one.
