Wayland Patch 5/3/11: Wayland Firefighters Seeking Donations Tuesday for Alabama Tornado Relief. It started with a text message from one Wayland firefighter to the rest of his department – an idea that has sparked widespread support locally to provide relief to those affected by last week’s tornado in Alabama.

Since Sunday, Wayland Fire Station #2 has been the collection site for items – food, clothing, water, hygiene products, toys – that on Wednesday morning will be trucked to tornado-torn Tuscaloosa, Ala.
