Tens of thousands of acres across Deep East Texas have been charred since last Sunday.  That's a huge number, but it would have been 10 times worse if not for the tireless efforts of area firefighters.

In Nacogdoches County alone, up to 18 different fire departments have been battling these blazes and protecting our homes and property. And, these are mainly volunteers that are fighting the fight.

Money is needed to help offset the major costs, especially the gasoline costs.  There are several ways that you can help this weekend.
