California Wildfires: Over 50 Lives Lost, Thousands of Acres Burned, Horses Evacuated

California is battling multiple wildfires, including the Camp Fire, Woolsey Fire, and Hill Fire, which have claimed over 50 lives and continue to pose a threat. Relief efforts are underway, with donations and volunteers greatly needed.

The devastation is immense, with hundreds of thousands of acres burned and mass evacuations of both humans and animals, including horses. The Mill Creek Equestrian Center received an evacuation order on Friday afternoon and quickly began trailering horses. Dozens of trailers arrived to help create a 'conveyer belt' for the animals' safe removal. Jane Arrasmith Duggan, from Ironhorse Ranch in Malibu, even organized an evacuation from afar while in Kentucky. Mackenzie Rollins and her team successfully evacuated about 70 horses from the center with community support. Material donations, such as barn supplies, are also crucial, especially for displaced horse owners. The Humane Society of Ventura County is accepting volunteers with horse experience to aid in relief efforts. Monetary donations to established relief agencies are recommended for maximum impact.

The wildfires in California have caused widespread devastation and displacement. Relief efforts are ongoing, with donations and volunteers continuing to be crucial. Material donations, particularly for horse owners, and monetary contributions to established relief agencies are strongly encouraged.
