Despite the terror and damage they have wrought, the recent wildfires which have besieged the San Marcos, San Elijo, Carlsbad and Escondido areas of the region have once again brought together San Diegans in a positive way.
Organizations from The Salvation Army to the San Diego Blood Bank have quickly mobilized to provide relief – gearing up to help victims and first responders at the series of fires which began cropping up last week. In addition, many hotels and restaurants offered reduced rates for evacuees and San Diego museums and attractions opened their doors for free. Places to get help. Things to do. Shelters were set up throughout the County Shelter Providing Assistance and many residents pitched in to provide support.
