Help a family find a house

A reader writes in looking for your help:

Hi – I’m wondering if you could put up a post to put out feelers for a 4 bedroom house for rent in Church Hill. I’m looking for the family whose house was burned down on Q Street this week. We would need a month to month lease until their house is finished being rebuilt (appx 4-5 months). The family has lived in their home since the 1950′s and we’re trying to find something ASAP to get them out of a hotel. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!!

Richmond Firefighters Association launches blog to track fire company closures

Following September’s rumblings that fire stations are being understaffed, Richmond Firefighters Association Local 995 has launched a new blog that details the daily closures of fire companies (including Quint 1 (Church Hill) CLOSED for 24 hrs. on October 7 and October 10).

Since the beginning of the 2009 – 2010 fiscal year, the Richmond Fire Department budget has experienced cuts that directly impact the amount of fire protection available on a daily basis to the City of Richmond. This blog is to serve as a place where information can be found regarding where daily cuts are occurring.
