The Comstock Fire & Rescue Department is dedicated to working with the Red Cross to ensure local hospitals and first responders can meet the needs of patients through blood donations. According to the Red Cross, blood is a perishable product that can only come from volunteer blood donors.

“Donating blood helps ensure that we're prepared to save lives before an emergency happens," said Comstock Fire and Rescue Chief Matt Beauchamp, "There’s no better gift than giving someone a second chance at life."

According to the Red Cross, nearly every 2 seconds a patient in America needs blood or platelets. A single donation of blood can save more than one life. Donors with all blood types are needed, but especially those with types ) negative, A negative, and B negative.
