Yesterday the community of Weed, CA experienced a wildland fire that devastated much of the town. The #BolesFire quickly spread through many residential sections of Weed fueled by extremely dry conditions and high winds. Cal-Fire estimates that over 100 structures were lost or damaged and 1,000 people displaced.

Kelly Stenmark, the Dispatch Supervisor/Records Manager for the Mt Shasta Police Department, was one of those residents whose home was destroyed by the fire. She has worked as a dispatcher for over 25 years and dedicated herself to her profession as a first responder, not only as a dispatcher but volunteering with the local volunteer fire department as well.  Thankfully, her family is safe - only the family greyhound is still unaccounted for. However, there is nothing left of the residence that Kelly, her husband Kevin, and twin teenagers called home.

Kelly and her family are only one of many that must rebuild after this disaster. They are blessed with many friends who are helping them with their immediate needs, but the road to recovery will be a long one.  They will have to rebuild their home and replace every personal and material item imaginable.  Many family mementos were lost, there simply was not enough time to "prepare to evacuate" before the fire devastated their neighborhood.

Please help them in building new memories!  Thank you for any support you can offer.

** This page is created by Dawn Snure, Kelly's co-worker at Mt Shasta Police Dept, Mt Shasta CA - after other co-workers and friends expressed the desire to help Kelly and her family rebuild after the fire.  All donations will be given directly to the Stenmarks.
