Firefighters help local family

Montgomery County Government TennesseeMontgomery County, TN – For local firefighters helping a family devastated by fire doesn’t just end when they put out the flames.

On Saturday, December 16th, an early morning fire completely destroyed the Brantley home at 3845 Aly Sheba Drive. Stephen, his wife Iliana and their four children, Jazmine, Jayden, Jonah, and Joel, ages 3 to 11, were not injured by the fire but they lost all their belongings including four family pets.

Clarksville Firefighters Association Local 3180 started a collection to help out the family. The donations were solely funded by members of Clarksville Fire Rescue.

“It was too short notice to shop for the family and try to buy gifts for the children. We decided that a gift card was best so the family could get what they needed,” said Clarksville Firefighter Association Local 3180 Vice President Jesse Snyder.

On Saturday, December 23rd, one week after the fire destroyed their home, Snyder and fellow 3180 brother Chase Clinard, presented the Brantleys with a gift card in the amount of $1100.

“The Brantley’s were so appreciative,” said Snyder. “I’m so proud to be a part of a group of men and women at Clarksville Fire Rescue that care so much about the community they serve.”
