Mod Notes:

Good morning.

I'll keep these posts going as there still a fire and still people looking for info and answers. Seems like there are starting to be questions about clean-up, and folks trying to find help getting meals, clothes, etc.

If you find and post any good resources for those who lost homes, or are still displaced tag me. We'll get those consolidated and available.

I feel like the air quality map is lying to me. You mean I can outside again?
