Fire Storm

By: Leonard T. It was Thanksgiving day when I got the call informing me that I would have to go to Malibu, California. It was my first fire storm and I really didn’t know what to expect. Although I had been on 2 water storms before, this would be different. While at the airport I began watching the news just to get some information on what to expect after arriving.

Seeing all the devastation that the Santa Ana winds, along with the fires, had caused. When we arrived, diving from the airport to the hotel, we saw lots of damage to this once nice area. There were million dollar homes burned throughout multiple neighborhoods. We had a meeting first, and then went straight to work. The first home wasn’t too bad. I learned the cleaning process from start to finish. The customer was pleased and that gave me a good feeling that I was part of the process to help them out.

In some areas, 90% of the block was burned. We proceeded to help as many people as we could within the next month.
