Brooklyn 4-alarm Fire (July 4, 2014)

Our disaster responders put their Fourth of July plans on hold to help families affected by a four-alarm fire in Brooklyn that tore through several floors in a 71-unit building. Red Cross team opened a reception center at P.S. 129 and provided food, water, emotional and health support. The following day, our caseworkers met with families to discuss their next steps in recovery.
