Clayton Fire
Marshal Tony Atkinson is shown presenting a check for $500 to Red

"It is an honor to assist the fire department as they help the
citizens of Clayton and Johnston County. We ask that they call us
whenever they need us and we will be there" said Whitman. Each year,
the American Red Cross responds immediately to more than 70,000
disasters, including house fires (the majority of disaster
responses), hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hazardous
materials spills, transportation accidents, explosions, and other
natural and man-made disasters.
The Johnston County Red Cross recently assisted a family of seven
that lost their home due to fire. All American Red Cross disaster
assistance is free, made possible by voluntary donations of time and
money from the American people.
