Extension reports $21,000 raised and livestock support for families after Potter County fire
Summary
Potter County Extension staff described livestock and agricultural recovery activities, reporting about $21,000 raised and an additional $5,800 pending to support roughly eight identified families; residents were given contact details for extension assistance.
Megan of the Potter County Extension described work to locate and care for livestock after the wildfire and to supply water and fencing where tanks or fences were damaged. She said volunteers and local donors provided immediate feed and watering support and that county road-and-bridge resources assisted by providing a water truck for responders.
Megan reported that volunteers and partners had raised "a little over $21,000" and that an additional $5,800 in pending funds would bring the total close to $30,000 in livestock-related supplies if approved and distributed. She told residents to call the Potter County Extension Office for agriculture-related assistance and provided a contact number on the record.
The extension noted the importance of following donation protocols to prevent fraud and ensure donated funds reach intended households. Commissioners thanked the extension for on-the-ground work and volunteer coordination and noted the extension's role in funneling agricultural needs to state resources and VOAD partners for long-term recovery.
