The fire crews battling the Ice and the Beer Fire in Reno County received outpouring support from people in their community. One of the Hutchinson VFW members said they were able to gather two truckloads full of donations to the men and women on the frontlines. “Gatorade, lots of Gatorade — anything that they can eat quickly and drink quickly to keep them nourished so they can do the job,” said Ron Bremer, member of the VFW Auxiliary post-1361. Hutchinson resident, Kim Campbell, says she stood outside of Dillon’s grocery store and collected donations for the firefighters. “I put an empty cart outside, made a sign, and by the time I was done, I had five carts full,” she said.
