Mercury One provided meals during devastating wildfires in California.
Southern California experienced six major wildfires with the Santa Ana winds in December 2017. The Santa Ana winds had been ruthless and there had been low humidity that made the fires even worse. The Thomas fire in Ventura County was the first to ignite and had burned over 100,000 acres since it began.
And in Redding, California, people were forced to leave their homes and valuables behind in order to seek shelter in a safe location. Many of these families returned to find their homes and possessions burned by the flames of the CARR fire. The fire burned over 150,000 acres in Redding. The community was devastated due to the wildfires that demolished the homes of residents. Over 1500 structures were destroyed and more than 250 had significant damage.
Through it all, Mercury One along with our partners were able to be on the ground, helping the firefighters, first responders, and those affected by the fires, all because of the generous donations from our supporters.

Mercury One and our partners were on the scene of the California wildfire since day one assisting those displaced by providing them and the brave first responders with a hot meal. Our partner Operation BBQ Relief wrapped up in the California community and served 20,553 meals over their nine days working in California. CitiImpact worked with Mercury One to send relief aid supplies to those affected by the CARR fire. We are blessed to work with such amazing partners who jump into action when disaster strikes in our country.

SANTA ANA FIRE
Southern California experienced six major wildfires with the Santa Ana winds in December 2017. The Santa Ana winds had been ruthless and there had been low humidity that has made the fires even worse. High winds caused concern for the communities for Southern California.
Over 5,000 firefighters were on the ground tirelessly fighting the raging wildfires. The Thomas fire in Ventura County was the first to ignite and had burned over 100,000 acres since it began.
The Skirball fire was small but hugely threatening because it threatened heavily populated areas of L.A. Four other fires continued to burn uncontrollably due to the high winds caused by the Santa Ana’s. These fires caused what has been called “apocalyptic” conditions.
During this time Mercury One needed your help to send aid to the people being displaced by these fires. Due to your generous support and donations, Mercury One and our partners were able to be on the ground providing aid and support to firefighters, first responders and those displaced by the raging wildfires.
Thank you for your continued support of Mercury One and our disaster reliefs efforts.
