Northern California Fires: Jim and His People Need Our Help!

If you are anything like me, completely oblivious to your surroundings, you probably knew very little about the fires in Northern California.  Most likely you are nothing like me and can rightfully call me an idiot.  But enough of that it is time to get serious.  Events are bleak in California as wildfires are threatening the livelihood and existence of thousands of people.  Our buddy Jim (The Movie Whore) has the details…

I live in Chico California and the areas surrounding Chico are still being ravaged by this years wildfires. Fire fighters from several states have been brought in to help fight these fires and many Norcal residents have been evacuated and there a lot of people that have lost their homes in this years fires with more losing homes every day.

Ingrid Taylar has a blog and has a post here on how to help. Please take a look and if there is anything you can do help these people I would be eternally grateful.

Our valley is filled with smoke and ash from these fires. When I walk out side it is like seeing a fog blanketing our area and breathing is not always easy once you walk outside. There are warnings in our area not to go outside unless you need to and even then they recommend wearing a mask of some sort.

Perhaps you can pass this information along or research more about what you can do to help.  Contacting the Red Cross is always a great place to start.  Mother Nature can be a real beast and inevitably, we too will need the help of others someday.

Best of luck Jim, and keeps us updated with what’s going on.
