wildfires

A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire in a forest, grassland, or field of crops.  Wildfires can spread quickly across forests and fields, giving you little time to evacuate to safety. Drought, dry conditions, and the careless use of fire all contribute to increased risk of wildfire.

As dry conditions persist throughout the state, multiple wildfires have continued to burn in Colorado, including the Cameron Peak Fire, CalWood Fire and the Lefthand Canyon Fire. This year's fire season has had the largest recorded wildfires in Colorado's history and has led to the evacuation of thousands of people and damage to numerous homes and structures. 
Team Dominator Storm Recovery Foundation is dedicated to providing valuable information not only for those choosing to make donations to relief organizations, but also to those affected who are looking for immediate assistance in their area.
Listed below are links for ways to help those affected.

California and Oregon Wildfires

An unprecedented fire season is wreaking havoc across the Western US, with wildfires blazing across multiple states and air quality deteriorating. Numerous deaths have been reported, with dozens more missing and over 3,000 homes destroyed since the season began. In Oregon, half a million people were under evacuation orders as two fires threatened to merge and continue rapidly advancing. Oregon fires have burned more than 1 million acres. California's wildfires, driven by extreme blazes in August and September, have already burned more acres than any year on record.
