Sprint Reaches Out to Local Community Impacted by Blue Cut Fire
August 17 2016 - 4:46PM
Business Wire
Sprint (NYSE: S) is reaching out to assist the local community
impacted by the Blue Cut Fire currently burning out of control
north of San Bernardino. The company is delivering charging
stations to evacuation centers, loaning devices with service at no
charge to state and local agencies impacted or assisting in
response to this event and making a $1,000 donation to the American
Red Cross Serving San Bernardino County to assist evacuees.
“Sprint is actively involved in the local community and we want
to lend a helping hand to our family, friends, customers and
neighbors,” said Kevin Kunkel, Sprint’s Region President for
Southern California. “We need to be nimble with our support for
those impacted by the Blue Cut Fire and provide some relief to our
customers, our employees and local agencies affected by the
wildfire.”
During emergency events such as wildfires, Sprint reminds
customers of several steps they can take to prepare:
- Keep your wireless phone and backup
batteries charged, but be aware that an interruption of wireline
and commercial power could affect wireless calls.
- In times of commercial power outages, a
car adapter for your wireless phone should enable you to recharge
the battery.
- Load family and emergency numbers into
your wireless phone.
- Wireless networks sometimes experience
heavy voice traffic during emergency events, so try sending a text
message rather than making a call.
