Commissioner reports Tonopah apartment fire; officials ask community for assistance
Summary
Commissioner Gabor reported an accidental apartment fire in Tonopah that displaced four families and several pets; Red Cross provided some immediate debit cards for food and the board asked staff and agencies to coordinate assistance.
During commissioner comments, Commissioner Gabor reported an accidental fire at an apartment complex across from the county complex in Tonopah that destroyed residents’ units and left four families temporarily homeless. "There are children involved as well," Gabor said, and asked the public and local agencies to help with food, clothing, blankets and other immediate needs.
Comptroller Helen Bai confirmed the American Red Cross had been notified and had issued debit cards to affected families for food and essentials. The board offered condolences and asked staff to coordinate with relief organizations and report back to the commission.
No formal motion or funding action was taken during the meeting; the item was presented as an announcement and request for community assistance. The board encouraged anyone who can help to contact county offices or established relief organizations.
