The Orangeburg Fire Department is asking the community to help support one of its own.

Kenneth "Kenny" Gordon is a 50-year member of the Orangeburg Volunteer Department.

He was recently diagnosed with multiple medical conditions that require many trips to doctors, medical facilities and hospitals.

A GoFundMe has been created to help Gordon cover medical bills and continue his treatment.

The goal is to raise $20,000.

Kenny has served as the Chairman of the Board of Fire Commissioners for the Orangeburg Fire District since 2003 and has been a commissioner since 1999.
