I live about 100 miles south of the fires. There is so much tragedy in all this. In addition to all the lives, businesses, and homes lost, there were also hundreds of horses and other animals that needed to be rescued and put into temporary facilities. Two large fairgrounds in the area each got a few hundred horses and an initial call went out for assistance there. I'm retired, an equestrian (thus, comfortable around horses), and I have an RV. I sent in my availability to come up and stay multi days at one of those locations to assist, but never heard anything back. They both said, "Do not just show up - ensure we know you're coming". So, I'm hoping it was simply that they have plenty of volunteers. I've contributed cash. If you can, please do also. |
