 The Salvation Army is responding in southern California to assist
thousands of residents and fire fighters affected by the deadly
wildfires being fueled by the hot, dry Santa Ana winds and high
temperatures. The fires, the worst in over 10 years, are blazing from
the Mexican border to the northern suburbs of Los Angeles.
Six Salvation Army emergency disaster services vehicles (canteens) are
assisting in affected areas providing meals to evacuees staying in
shelters and fire fighters battling the raging fires. Salvation Army
officers (pastors) are also providing pastoral crisis counseling.
Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN) is providing vital
communication between Salvation Army response teams and support
communication for fire fighters, police and emergency responders.
The fires have already claimed 13 lives and destroyed over 850
buildings. Nearly 40,000 people have been evacuated from their homes and
numerous highways have been closed. Over 7,000 fire fighters are
battling the blazes in six counties and airline flights throughout the
region have been affected by the fires.
