In addition, she added, employees every year participate in a back-to-school drive to collect school supplies for area schools.

"Because of the fire, we went to the employees and told them this is an urgent situation," Smith said. "Our employees typically are very caring and we're hoping we can help out both with a donation from the company and with our employees making school supply donations."
