RED CROSS THROWS OPEN SHELTER DOORS TO WILDFIRE EVACUEES

THOUSANDS OF CALIFORNIANS FORCED FROM THEIR HOMES

As twin wildfires burn in California’s Los Angeles and Ventura counties, Red Cross chapters are opening the doors of shelters to ensure that evacuees have a safe place to turn. The fast-moving fires continue to force thousands of people from their homes, many taken by surprise and forced to leave with whatever they can carry with them. At least two deaths have been confirmed, more than 10,000 acres have been scorched, and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency.
