Lt. Joseph Keith of Riverside Fire and Rescue #14 helps assistant manager Leroy Merrion pack bottled water onto his truck for delivery to senior citizens at the Tacoma Country Estates mobile home park Tuesday morning. The park's water pump stopped working Monday evening, so the Red Cross donated 700 bottles of water Tuesday, which the fire department helped distribute. Park manager Sandi Cross says residents can't drink or use their well water until the system is repaired so the donation is appreciated. "They're awesome," she said of the fire department and Red Cross, Tuesday, November 3, 2009. (Drew Perine/The News Tribune)
