Local Motorcycle Group Pitches in to Help Firefighters and Fire Victims, How You Can Donate
Here are ways to help:
First, seriously consider donating money to your local cash-strapped Volunteer Fire Departments. For instance, Salmon Creek Fire Department in Southern Humboldt needs to purchase fire shelters. A donation to them if you live nearby might save the life of a firefighter you know. Other departments are similarly strapped. Ask how you can donate.
Next, here are two local organizations accepting supplies.
Pay It Forward Southern Humboldt suggests after talking with members of the Briceland VFD who have members staffing three fire trucks on the Lightning Fires. (Donations can be made at Redwoods Rural Health Center behind the CHP office on Redwood drive just south of Redway. They are open M-F 8:30 to 5:30. Private message the Facebook page about what you plan to donate to make sure it’s still needed. They are keeping a running total.)

You got the socks but these are really important chew , smokes and chonies.
“Smokes”, as in cigarettes? You would think the smoke from the fires is harsh enough on the lungs. Might be a good time to quit. Maybe donating nicotine patches or gum would be better choice.
On a fire is the LAST place you would want to quit!

Didn’t realize. Thank You.

Can you please pass the word that the USFS Fire camps can NOT accept food from public, even wrapped, and have showers, water, Gatorade, toilet paper, caterers, etc. It’s the VFD departments that need these supplies badly, and folks are getting confused and thinking ALL Fire camps and agencies need these things. The big camps have to throw away home-made food gifts due to health laws, because they cannot tell what may be in them.
I work for the USFS, and we appreciate it, but We are doing ok, we have food units, shower trailers, etc. Help the Volunteers, they need it.
Thanks
Everything we raised got was donated to displaced families and volunteer fire fighters here in Humboldt

My daughter purchased a lot of stuff for the firefighters and was told by Cal Fire they couldn’t take donations. Where are all of these donations going if Cal fire wont take them?
These went to the Alderpoint Volunteer Fire Department.
