Fire chief warns local residents about scam

Grafton Fire Chief Bill Rice is warning residents about a scam requesting donations for the department. 

Residents have reported receiving letters requesting money for the Volunteer Firefighter Alliance to be sent to a P.O. box in Topeka, Kan. The letters specifically refer to the Grafton Fire Department.

Rice said not all Grafton residents have received the letters and he believes the elderly are being targeted.

The fire department does not send mail requesting money, Rice said, and if residents receive the letter, they should not respond to the request.
