YFD to hold fundraiser for crew member

The Yuma Fire Department (YFD) is organizing a fundraiser to support Capt. Gary Welch, a dedicated veteran of the department who has been battling a severe illness and recently hospitalized in Tucson. Welch has been a pillar of the YFD for over two decades, and the community is rallying to offer financial assistance during his challenging time. This initiative highlights the deep sense of camaraderie and support within the firefighting community, as well as the broader community's appreciation for Welch's long-term service and dedication.
