How you can help those affected by deadly wildfire in Shasta County

Nearly 38,000 people were forced from their homes after flames ripped through Shasta County. 

Shelters in neighboring cities have been set up for Carr Fire evacuees. 

Peter Griggs, a spokesman for Shasta College in Redding, says the evacuation center at the school reached maximum capacity Saturday and is housing 500 people.

The college’s gymnasium is filled with cots and American Red Cross volunteers are providing food, water and medical and mental health services.    

California fire officials say more mandatory evacuations were ordered Saturday afternoon for communities south of Redding and three other shelters are still taking evacuees.    

Those who wish to donate items for evacuees house at American Red Cross shelters can call (559) 265-2473.
