Pictures from the Monument fire in Arizona!!




Here are some pictures I snapped while volunteering to help the locals out in Arizona. Our border operations group suspended border ops to focus on humanitarian missions for evacuees such as helping the elderly relocate things from their house due to mandatory evacuations, clearing brush away from houses with rakes, shovels and pick axes, assisting the Arizona Rangers with security at one of the shelters, going door to door to announce the mandatory evacuations, assisting in the pet shelter at the high school, pick up and deliver items to the firefighters. Felt really good to help those people.

58 homes were destroyed, unknown number burned. 6 businesses lost. Many animals like dogs, cats and horses are missing also.
