Thomas Fire (2017): The Thomas Fire burned 281,893 acres and burned 1,000 in several California counties. Direct Relief donated an SUV and pickup truck that were re-purposed into first-response vehicles to aid in relief efforts. The Ford F-150 pickup is equipped with a paddleboard, a rescue basket, a mobile data computer for GPS location, and LED response and scene lighting. It will be used during surf and water rescues, and to provide support during wildfire calls, flooding incidents, and urban search-and-rescue situations. The Ford Explorer SUV will be used as a secondary command post.
