Red Cross Volunteers Respond To Two Fires

Volunteers from the Mohawk Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross responded to two fires on Wednesday.

The Red Cross is providing assistance to two adults and a 17-year old after a fire on Jordanville Road in Ilion.

They're also helping a family of three -- one adult and two children, ages 3 and 9 -- following a fire on Myers Street in Yorkville.

In 2016, the Red Cross responded to more than 400 home fires and other disasters in the 24-county Eastern New York Region. Red Cross staff and volunteers provided assistance, care and comfort to more than 2,000 local residents last year.
