Central Texans show huge support for firefighters with bottled water donations

Central Texans answered the call in a big way for bottled water that will go to firefighters battling wildfires and the record high temperatures. While the drive was supposed to last through Sunday, the need was met by Saturday afternoon.

TEMPLE — Central Texans proved once again Friday how they can come together in times of need. We made a call for bottled water for firefighters and the call was answered in a big way.

Channel 6 partnered with Temple Fire and Rescue for a bottled water drive to benefit the firefighters battling blazes around the area. Within just a few hours, the Channel 6 lobby was packed with dozens of bottled water and gatorade cases.

The water will go to firefighters across Central Texas having to brave the scorching temperatures while also battling back wildfires that were threatening homes in Coryell and Bell Counties.

While the drive was planned to last through Sunday, the need for donations was met by Saturday afternoon.
