What is Fire Rescue House? Many families are not prepared for their home to burn down, or prepared for all of the decisions that have to be made afterwards. Victims need a safe place for their family to re-group and re- build their lives. A Fire Rescue House is just that - a transitional housing for fire victims with living necessities for up to 3 weeks. We provide families with the support and time they need to begin the process of rebuilding their lives. Why do we need a Fire Rescue House in Nacogdoches?
