Everyone in the Montecito area is checking up on each other and helping to get people and animals to safety. I’m proud to be a part of this community. I’m sending lots of love and gratitude to the fire department and sheriffs. Thank you all. #ThomasFire

The Thomas fire is the biggest of six wildfires totally ravaging Southern California, covering over 230k acres to make it the fifth largest in the state’s history!
Tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate.
We can only hope people stay safe as firefighters continue to brave the fires!
