The Clifton Fire Department is launching a drive to distribute turnout gear, medical supplies and other equipment, much of it surplus but still usable, to firefighters in Ukraine.
The idea started with firefighter Oleg Skachko who emigrated from Ukraine when he was 14 and is now in his third year with the department. And it’s quickly caught on with other departments joining the effort, NorthJersey.com reports.
Firefighters watching as Ukrainian firefighters continue working even as their country is under siege by Russian troops were eager to join the effort to help.
