In October 1991, the Tunnel Fire tore through the Oakland Hills in California, killing 25 people and injuring 150 others. The first sign that something was wrong that day was a helicopter whirling overhead while dipping water out of Lake Temescal, recalls Matthew Fryer, who lived nearby. “I drove to investigate and saw that there was a fire on the side of the road, not far away,” he said. Eventually, a police car drove by announcing everyone had to evacuate.

Those who serve our country don't serve alone, and neither do their families.

Recently, Tiffany Circle and North Bay Chapter Board Member Julie Atwood hosted a special watch party of Red Talk: Beyond the Front Lines: Supporting Those Who Serve—and Those Who Love Them. Community partners, supporters and volunteers gathered to learn more about the American Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces program and the critical support it provides to active-duty military members, veterans and their families around the world.

Guests also heard from Division Service to the Armed Forces Director Jason Brand, who shared personal stories from his 25+ years in the U.S. Coast Guard and highlighted the impact Red Cross services have during some of life's most challenging moments.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to honor and support those who serve and the loved ones who stand beside them. ❤️🤍💙

On National Coming Out Day, we were proud to join Fresno Chaffee Zoo's Rainbow Family Day 🌈 Not only did we bring candy and smiles, but our volunteers were also able to share home fire safety information, Halloween safety tips, activity sheets and Prepare with Pedro booklets with over 200 visitors.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, tested their preparedness knowledge on the Wheel of Preparedness and picked up resources to help keep their families safe this season. 🎃🍬

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Great ShakeOut today!

Being prepared and knowing what to do is always important, but practicing these drills help us stay ready for when the next earthquake comes. You never know if it'll happen at home, work, school or outside.

Remember to practice: Drop, Cover and Hold On!

For Patsy Gasca, the Red Cross has been part of her life for decades. She first joined as a volunteer in 1989, the day the Loma Prieta earthquake struck and devastated her community.

“I heard the appeal from the Red Cross on the radio when it happened, asking for volunteers that could translate,” says Patsy, who speaks Spanish and was working as a property manager at the time.

Years later, she experienced a moment that brought everything full circle. Read the rest of the article at our blog: https://rdcrss.org/4s6v3Mn
