Agency Description: Project FIRE starts in the fall and ends in early spring. When wood is donated by lumber companies and others, volunteers cut logs with chain saws and splitters to make firewood. It is then delivered to low income, elderly people for heating or cooking purposes. During the FIRE season, there are usually two or three wood cutting days, often starting on a Saturday morning and lasting through the afternoon. Volunteers provide their own chain saws and splitters; some offer their trucks for immediate delivery. Assistance is also needed with cleaning up the grounds after the project ends.
