As Southern California Fires Rage, Medical Aid En Route
Emergency medical aid, N-95 respirators and other critical supplies are being deployed to wildfire impacted communties where thousands are experiencing evacuations.

Direct Relief is responding to five active wildfires that erupted overnight across Southern California, fueled by strong winds and dry vegetation. The fires, four of which are in Los Angeles County and one in Riverside County, come amid extreme fire weather conditions caused by severe offshore winds and parched landscapes.

Firefighters are working tirelessly to contain the blazes, which continue to threaten homes and communities across the region. The most dangerous conditions are expected to persist through today, with gusts up to 100 mph in some areas, according to the National Weather Service.

Direct Relief has activated its emergency response protocols and is in communication with local health providers and emergency management teams in the affected areas.

The organization is currently deploying medical aid, including emergency medical supplies for first responders and displaced residents, and respiratory protection equipment, including N95 respirators, to mitigate health risks from smoke exposure.
