A group of volunteer firefighters with Triple Community Fire Department near Morganton will be heading to Western Kentucky to offer help searching for survivors and victims following last week's deadly tornados.

Lt. Kelly Michaels and his fellow firefighters were already planning to visit friends in eastern Kentucky when the tornados hit the state.

"It's horrible. Absolutely horrible," Lt. Michaels said. "So we had decided, yes, we're still going on vacation, but we went from a pleasure vacation to a working vacation."

While they wait to find out if they'll be allowed to assist in search and rescue operations, they still plan on going to drop off hundreds of dollars worth of supplies donated by the department's neighbors.
