DeWitt County Emergency Coordinator Billy Jordan reported on the family affected by the December 27th fire at 512 E. Reuss St.
“They are holding up. Spirits are good,” Jordon said. Fortunately, no one was injured, and the fire is currently under investigation.
The community showed a tremendous outpouring of concern following the incident, as seen on the Cuero Record Facebook page. EMC Jordan mentioned that the Red Cross provided assistance by covering the loss of their prescription medications and giving them a Walmart gift card to shop for clothes and essentials. Additionally, a Westhoff church donated a quilt, and the Ladies Auxiliary of the Cuero Fire Department supplied food and other necessities. There are also discussions about providing them with a trailer to park at their home.
