[nagdu] OT: CO Fires - How to help

[Dailyah Patt]

Greetings,

I had a total loss house fire just over two years ago, so I am praying for everyone even at 4 am!  I happen to have a veterinary friend who specializes in disaster management.  I got the following information from her earlier tonight and am passing it along to anyone who wants to help the animals being impacted by the fires.
