Where do I volunteer to help with the wildfires?

[agooga]

Does anyone know of a number, website, etc., where I can find out if any volunteers are needed to fight the wildfires or support the firefighters with food/water/whatever?

I'm off work right now, not a lot of money to give, but I have the time.

According to what I've heard from Roger Hedgecock, they will turn you away unless you're state certified.

Ask on the live thread. If anyone knows, someone there will.

OR: give your local FD a call - they can direct you to local needs.

A fireman friend of mine told me you need special certification to fight these types of fires.

You could probably help evacuees, at local shelters. You've got alot of displaced and homeless people there. Contact local community groups or Red Cross, United Way, etc.
