INLAND EMPIRE – (INT) – Riverside and San Bernardino counties have been spared the fiery calamity that has struck Los Angeles. But, the Inland Empire has not been immune to natural disasters.

In recent years, the IE has withstood wildfires, earthquakes, floods, mountain blizzards and a terrorist attack. All have claimed lives or inflicted grief.

The two counties have stood strong with the support of neighbors near and strong.

Firefighting resources from the Inland Empire are on the front lines in Los Angeles County.

Even when the flames die out in Los Angeles County, the need will be strong. Emergency response and recovery officials are urging donations to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund, https://www.calfund.org.
