A day with the Salvation Army at the Moon Fire

It started at 6 AM for Major Wayne Wetter of the Redding Salvation Army.....it ended at 10 PM at night....
From checking on food supplies at the Corps office at 6...he was off to the Incident Command Post morning briefing, only to find out that Cal Fire needed additional vehicles to remove the artifacts from the Shasta Historical Park in Old Shasta, CA. Within minutes, the large semi from the Salvation Army was on the scene....being loaded with valuables from years past, many actual items from the great gold rush that overran this area in the 1800's.
Back to the Corps office to meet with the newspaper photographer who wanted to go with the Major to see the "actual situation" in the Moon fire area of Igo and Ono, 2 isolated areas just 15 miles west of Redding and in the foothills of the Trinities.
This is how it started at noon...and for the next 4 hours....one story after another, which I will relate in subsequent blogs as time allows, for I went along to see for myself The Salvation Army in action.
