There's a push to register more organ donors in St. Lucie County.
The St. Lucie County Fire District, along with the Tax Collector's Office and Legacy Donors, are launching a campaign with special decals that will be placed on fire rescue trucks.
The decals will be placed on the back of the trucks at Fire Station 3 by past donors' families on Monday and will eventually be placed on all trucks across the county.
Currently, only about 50% of residents registering to get their license are choosing to become organ donors, according to Tax Collector Chris Craft.
However, Craft said just because organs are donated does not mean they can be used.
Sometimes organs are deemed useless because of the condition they are in when someone dies.
He says there is a great need for donations.
