The wildfires that ignited in the Los Angeles area on January 7 were reported by multiple media outlets as the most devastating wildfire disaster in California history. Being exacerbated by extremely dry conditions and up to 100 mph Santa Ana winds, various fires broke out in residential neighborhoods such as the Pacific Palisades, Altadena and Sylmar. As evacuation orders went out, the fires spread rapidly, scorching acres of land and displacing thousands of residents. Though containment of the fires continue to grow, the situation remains critical as firefighters continue to fight active blazes and suppress hot spots amidst challenging conditions.
Given the devastation of the recent fires, our hearts truly go out to all whom have been affected. As those who carry out the mission of sharing Heavenly Mother’s love with the whole world, the Church of God has partnered with the LA Fire Department and other community organizations to help support first responders and members of the community who have been affected by these tragic events.
These firefighters have been relentlessly battling the devastating fires and diligently working to contain their spread. The opportunity was given to serve a warm meal to these first responders who risk their lives protecting others. Mario Quintana from Los Angele County Fire Department in Agoura Hills, was really touched by the heartfelt work on the volunteers who woke up early in the morning to prepare hot meals to encourage the firefighters. The Taco truck was brought to serve them with warm meals by members of the Church.
This is the worst fire in the history of California, and it has been tedious on firefighters as well. A warm meal to comfort them before they begin the day has been the motto of the Church members during this time. As Heavenly Mother never forgets even one of her children but considers all of them. As most of the weight of containing the fire has been on the firefighters, it has become the custom of the Church members to comfort them in every and all ways possible.
