I posted on the Mindless thread:
I am 1 1/2 hr south of the Valley Fire which has confirmed three lives lost so far. I know of 5 families that lost their homes. Donations have been pouring in, they said they are good for immediate supplies at the Red Cross shelter in Calistoga but are accepting monetary donations made directly to Red Cross. There are volunteers out there doing wonderful things, one guy bought hundreds of pounds of meet at
and has been BBQing at the shelter for days. Verizon and insurance trucks on site too
