🚒 Supporting Our HEROES 🤝

SERVPRO of Ashland / Huntington provided 10 FIRE BAGS to Fire Captain Andrew Smith and the Grayson Fire Department!

-Relief: When families are displaced by fire or floods, they often leave with nothing but the clothes on their backs. These bags bridge the gap during those first critical hours by providing essential hygiene products.

-Support for First Responders:
This allows Captain Smith and his team to offer more than just physical safety—it empowers them to provide emotional and practical support right on-site when it's needed most.
When an emergency arises, the Grayson Fire Department is prepared to protect and care for our community.
