On Tuesday, the Baldwin Volunteer Fire Department will hold an event benefiting a St. Mary Sheriff’s Deputy battling cancer.

From 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Tuesday, November 13, plate lunches of fried fish and white beans will be sold at the Baldwin Fire Station to support St. Mary Sheriff’s Deputy Ross Mire and help pay for any medical expenses.

Mire is currently in Houston undergoing treatment for Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare type of cancer that affects the bones and soft tissues surrounding them.

Plate lunches are $10 and can be picked up at the Baldwin Fire Station located at 504 Main Street. Tickets can also be purchased at the Chitimatcha Tribal Police Department at 211 Coushatta Drive in Charenton.
