BROOKNEAL, Va. (WDBJ) - The Foster Fuels Mission Critical Division has deployed more than 45 fuel trucks to areas affected by Hurricane Laura.
The mobilization is in response to an emergency fuel activation order from the federal government. Trucks carrying diesel and gasoline were sent out, as well as multiple support vehicles.
“We needed to act quickly sending trucks to the areas most affected by Hurricane Laura. In these situations, a matter of minutes could make all the difference,” said Senior Vice President Will Rohrig.
Laura made landfall early Thursday, as a category four hurricane, near the border of Texas and Louisiana. Wind gusts of up to 150 mph left more than 500,000 people without power.
Foster Fuels said the deployment brings challenges due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
"Every disaster has its challenges, but our team has been proactive about making sure protective measures were and are in place for those on the mission," said Rohrig. "We have made safety our number one priority in assisting recovery efforts in the aftermath of the storm."
Foster Fuels Mission Critical holds the nation’s largest emergency fuel contract in support of FEMA and the Department of Defense.
