UPDATE: FAN HAS BEEN LOCATED! WE APPRECIATE THE SHARES!

IMPORTANT: The Buckhannon Fire Department is missing a battery operated SuperVac fan that was accidentally delivered to the WVWC Flood drop-off point on Tuesday, July 28. That same day, the fan was acquired by a flood victim receiving supplies. This was an all around honest mistake. We are asking that anyone with any knowledge of it to please contact us! Please help us out get the fan back and share this post.

Warren District Volunteer Fire Dept tracked down box fans from outside of the flood affected areas and hauled them to the donation center in Lewis County. Box fans and extension cords remain important items for donations.

The donation centers in Upshur and Lewis are beginning to consolidate in Lewis for extended operations.
