Dixie Fire Recovery for the Courtright Family

On Wednesday, August 4th the Dixie Fire spotted over control lines near Round Valley and grew explosively with whole tree torching and a crown fire being driven by gusty winds. Despite valiant efforts the fire spread into the community of Greenville, tragically taking most of the town with it.

Sadly, the home of Pam and Andy Courtright was completely decimated by the fire. Andy is the Chief of Peninsula Fire, where he has worked for 24 years, and is currently spending countless hours protecting the Peninsula. Pam has been employed by the Sheriff’s Office for 16 years and was recently promoted to the Emergency Services Coordinator for Plumas County. Prior to working for the Sheriff’s Office, Pam served as a flight paramedic. She has had little time off as she continues to serve Plumas County during this emergency. Pam and Andy have devoted their lives to helping the public, now its our turn to help them.

Along with Pam and Andy’s home, a block away, their son Andrew, his pregnant wife Rachel and their young son lost their home as well due to the Dixie Fire. Andrew is a Deputy for Plumas County and has been working long days to do his part in keeping the community safe.

I have worked with Pam for my entire career at the Plumas County Sheriff's Office and know her not only has a valued co-worker but also an important and dependable friend! We are asking that you donate any amount possible to their family. These donations will help with temporary lodging expenses, food, transportation, pet supplies, clothing, and the ultimate rebuilding process.
