ByTom Atkinson

TOMORROW ONLY between 10am & 2pm FEMA Reps will be at the McKenzie Fire and Rescue Station in Leaburg to help residents displaced by the fire Register for assistance and to answer questions about ongoing cases. They might also be able to help with SBA applications and issues.

This is insanely short notice but if you need to see a FEMA Representative in person this is a chance to get help.
