Wayne-Westland Fire Department Gives Turkeys to Families of Woodcrest Apartment Fire 


Westland, MI - 
Two weeks following a massive fire at the Woodcrest Apartments in Westland, the Wayne-Westland Fire Department dropped off turkeys to the 15 families affected by the tragedy.

 

The turkeys were donated to the  "Westland Firefighters Public Awareness Committee."  Each family received 2 turkeys.

 

"The families affected by the Woodcrest Apartment fire on November 24 lost their homes right before Thanksgiving.  They were unable to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner, and therefore, the Wayne-Westland Fire Department felt it was important that they receive 2 turkeys to make up for the holiday that they missed out on," Stated Fire Chief Michael J. Reddy.

 

Donations for the families are still being accepted at Fire Administration, located at 37201 Marquette.

 

For more information, contact Aubrey Berman, Administrative Secretary,
