Midday in San Francisco during the Camp Fire 175 miles north
With three major fires (and many more smaller fires) burning across California right now, every little bit helps and you can be a part of that support.
I live about 95 miles from Paradise, CA, the town that literally burned to the ground within the past week. The Camp Fire, named for Camp Creek Road, where the fire started, is California's most destructive on record (currently burning 113,000 acres) and deadliest on record (at 29 and rising).
Then, there are the Woolsey and Hills fires in Southern California, which have collectively destroyed more than 96,000 acres across L.A. and Ventura counties.
If you check , there are more than a dozen active fires across California right now.
The devastation can be seen literally across the state. The skies 170 miles south of Paradise are blanketed in smoke and tinted orange. Everything reminds us of the terrible disaster that is still in full effect for our friends to the North.
If you have some extra money, please consider sending it to local organizations across California to help aid victims of these fires.
Here’s a list of organizations to which you can donate funds to help victims of, and firefighters battling, the horrendous multiple wildfires ravaging California. If you know of any other worthy organizations, please tack on links to them as replies.
