already
had
a
profound
impact
on
our
community,”
CCA

our
thoughts
and
prayers
are
with
those
battling
the
devastating
fires
and
with
all
who
have
been
affected.”
This
announcement
comes
as
fires

businesses
throughout

which
has
resulted
in

County
in
danger.”
Amid
the
devastation,
many
residents,

have
spoken
out
about

“My
community
and
possibly
my
home
is
on
fire,”
the

wrote
on
Instagram

“My
family
is
safe.
Many
of
my
friends
will
lose
their
homes.
Many
other
communities
as
well.”
