Description

A clean-up activity has been scheduled following a recent devastating home fire in Wake Forest, NC. 


The fire resulted in a total loss of a family's home, and the family needs assistance doing some small-scale demolition work to a metal carport structure and some other items at their home.  A dumpster will be located at the site, but assistance loading items into the dumpster is needed.

This work is scheduled from 730a-1230p on Saturday, 12APR.  If rained out, the rescheduled date would be at the same time slot one week later on 19APR.

The home is located at:
3692 Lalla Ct
Wake Forest, NC 27587

What to bring:
PPE - safety glasses, ear protection (grinding/cutting thin metal tends to be very noisy), heavy duty gloves, safety toe shoes, and a hard hat if working under any compromised overhead structure.


Clothing - wear clothing that you don't mind getting absolutely filthy!  Fire cleanup is dirty work.


Tools - prybars/crowbars, small sledgehammers, drills for fastener removal, Sawzall/reciprocating saws with metal cutting blades. spare batteries, extension cords (power available from neighbors house)


Other - water, snacks/lunch is not expected to be provided so make sure to bring your own

Thanks for being willing to volunteer some of your time to help this family!
