🔥THE HEROES🔥 

More than 6,200 firefighters are working around the clock to try to contain the CA fires, building fire lines & rescuing residents & animals in an effort to protect our communities. These brave firefighters & 1st responders are also risking their own lives as gale-force winds blow unpredictably.
