Local emergency crews eye aid to New York and D C
Franklin County Sheriff Craig Davis and Ottawa Police Chief Jeff Herrman say they lack manpower to send officers to New York and Washington. Stand-by shifts and 12 hour workdays would be used if calls come from other areas. Local funds may be sought, with Old Engine 8 considering relief contributions. Our hearts and prayers are with those affected.
