California has already been ravaged by several fires this season—some of the worst in history. These fires have destroyed homes, businesses, and lives, and is even more devastating due to COVID-19.
Currently, the Glass Fire, which ignited on Sunday in Napa County, has destroyed over 42,560 acres and is at 0% containment, according to Cal Fire. Evacuation orders are currently in effect for Napa County, forcing thousands to flee their homes and businesses. Several businesses including wineries, shops, and restaurants have been completely destroyed by the fires. Local gem Meadowood Resort, which housed a three-Michelin-star restaurant, was not spared by the fires, with hundreds sharing the sad news across social media.
These fires are coming at the worst possible time, with news of a third wave of COVID-19 and the start of flu season. If you can, please consider donating to these organizations that are supporting displaced families, animals, and first responders.
