According to Steve Junqueiro, president and chief operating officer of Save Mart, "The loss from fire in San Bruno is a tragedy that affects the entire community. The Red Cross is at the forefront of fire and disaster relief. They are experienced and well equipped to ensure the right aid is provided where most needed."
