Iconium Fire Department seeking volunteers for tornado relief
ST. CLAIR COUNTY, Mo. — The Iconium Fire Protection District (IFPD) is seeking to help people devastated by the tornadoes on May 19.
According to the IFPD Facebook page, on Thursday, May 29 and Friday, May 30, the department needs volunteers to help provide dump trucks, dump trailers and wood chipper operators to grind up and haul off wood chips.
IFPD says dozens of branches and trees are piled up in yards in multiple subdivisions off Highway ZZ between Truman Lake and the St. Clair County – Henry County line.
'The Iconium Fire Department will pay to rent a wood chipper but we need people who can spend a day feeding the chipper and others who can bring trailers and trucks to accept the chips and haul them away, probably to the yard next to our Station 3, about a mile from those subdivisions,' said the Facebook post.
If you would like to help, provide equipment, provide a space for wood chips or donate funds for the chipper and fuel, call Fire Chief David Price, 417-309-0078.
