Santa Barbara County Based Non-Profit Helps California Fire Victims

A Santa Barbara County based non-profit agency is making a big contribution to people impacted by the Woolsey and Hill fires in Ventura Counties, as well as Northern California’s Camp Fire.

Direct Relief provided more than 150,000 masks for distribution to people in Northern and Southern California.

The group has also supplied critical medications like asthma inhalers to people displaced or burned out of their homes.

Direct Relief also sent a team to Butte County to help determine what else could be done to help the fire ravaged region north of Sacramento.

Lance Orozco has been News Director of KCLU since 2001, providing award-winning coverage of some of the biggest news events in the region, including the Thomas and Woolsey brush fires, the deadly Montecito debris flow, the Borderline Bar and Grill attack, and Ronald Reagan's funeral.
