Firefighting in California-Battling the Blaze!

Cub found in tree Lake Tahoe

The LA Fire Department, along with many other departments, are fighting a nasty fire in northern California. Firefighters are out there battling these flames and often put themselves in harms way. Supporting such firefighters in a time of global warming and climate change is going to be helpful. They will also need to update equipment and learn new skills (This is something robots and AI could definitely help with).

The donation organization Center for Disaster Philanthropy offers information on active fires "California – Active fires There are 11 active, large fires burning in California and they have burned 1,309,959 acres".

If you want to donate to help restore the forest you may do so at American Forest.org

You can check the US. Fish and Wildlife Serve and some of the animals they are saving HERE. 

(Side note: I wrote something a little while back to support volunteer firefighting in Delta County Michigan. It might still be a great place to put a joint firefighting and/ outdoor law enforcement training center for regional stakeholders. See Delta County Firefighter Volunteers. Once you build the training structures such as prop buildings they can have many different uses as a training yard. Its an idea...something to ponder. 🤔)
