MADRAS, Ore. (KTVZ)– Despite the size of the Cram fire the Red Cross tells KTVZ news no one has used their shelter in Madras for the last 2 days. Even though the shelter was empty outside of the volunteers, representatives from the Red Cross tell us they’re eager to help anyone who shows up.
Morgan Schmidt, from Red Cross told KTVZ news “We’re here and we’re here to help for as long as help might be needed. The Red Cross is here to offer shelter to anybody who has been impacted by the fire, as well as their pets. We always want to make sure people know they can shelter with us even if they have animals.”
Besides shelter, the Red Cross offers meals, water, and comfort in this blistering heat. The Red Cross shelter for those affected by the Cram Fire is located at the Jefferson County Middle School.
