Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today it
donated $50,000 to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Fires Appeal in
response to the devastating fires surrounding Fort McMurray,
Alberta, Canada.
According to the Red Cross, the donations received will be used
to provide relief for those affected in the form of emergency food,
clothing, shelter, personal services and other necessities that
assist with recovery and resiliency.
“Jacobs has been a proud member of the Fort McMurray community
for decades. We know the impact this will have on our industry, but
more importantly, the people who drive the industry,” said
President, Industrial and Field Services Robert Pragada. “Our
thoughts go out to our colleagues and all those affected by the
devastating Alberta wildfires.”
At the time of the initial evacuation, which began two weeks
ago, the company employed 400 individuals who called Fort McMurray
home. With an office in Fort McMurray and presence at four
industrial sites, at peak intervals Jacobs employs nearly 2,000
people in the region.
According to recent news reports, more than 90,000 people have
been affected and the fire is still growing beyond 423,000
hectares. Relief efforts in the region are ongoing as the fight to
contain the fire continues.
