CALDWELL, Idaho — The Sand Hollow Fire Protection District is asking for community support as firefighters continue working long hours to protect lives, homes and property during ongoing wildfire activity.

Donations can be dropped off at the following locations:
- Sand Hollow Fire Station, 5239 Black Canyon Road, Caldwell

- New Plymouth Fire, 328 Southeast Avenue, New Plymouth
