Last night, our Downtown Raleigh community was ablaze with a 5 alarm fire. The brave men and women of the Raleigh Fire Department battled the blaze moments after it started, and succesfully snuffed the flames before they could spread even futher. Countless lives were saved last night, but damage was done. One fire fighter experienced injuries from falling glass. 40 people were relocated to nearby hotels by the Red Cross, and it may be a long time before they can go back.



Tonight we're putting on a fundraiser for those affected. Come to Isaac Hunter's Tavern from 6pm to 8pm. For $12 we'll give you a drink ticket (good for a beer, glass of wine, or house liquor) and a plate of Clyde Cooper's BBQ. We'll also have some delicious food donated by The Big Easy, Raleigh. All proceeds will go to support our RFD and those affected by last nights fire.



We're still figuring out the best way to donate in honor of our first responders, as they cannot take direct donations to the department



FIRST RESPONDERS EAT FREE!
