COFEMS Thanks Orange County Community for Support During Water Incident
By: Orange County Fire & EMS and Orange County Communications
The unprecedented incident related to the Wilderness Water Treatment plant which began August 21 required a community, indeed state - wide and beyond, response. Many residents selflessly came forward to help their neighbors who were impacted by the emergency. From within Orange County and beyond, we received many donations of water as well as volunteer support to distribute it to those in need. Some of this took place at the COFEMS - operated distribution locations. However, many such examples of community - mindedness took place in a way that the doers of those good acts remain anonymous or unknown to us, but that does not make their efforts any less valuable. Below, we wanted to take a moment and recognize some of those who stepped up and helped at our water distributions during our community ’ s time of need. We appreciate their support, it is part of what makes Orange County a great place to live.
