Thank you to the entire community for pulling together and ensuring our safety. We are so grateful to Camp 8; they have literally saved our lives time and time again - thank goodness they will stay with us.There were many people who organized this effort, the very first of them being Rob and Pam Fitch. Had they not been hiking up the road one morning and chatted with one of the Camp 8 staff, the community would have NEVER known about this.
Not ones to sit on information for a moment, they immediately picked up the phone to their neighbor, Bob Karpuk. Between the three of them, only 3 hours passed before a flyer was written, printed and on the way to every mailbox they could reach. Momentous thanks go to them for igniting this effort.
When hundreds showed up on Monday evening, we were again wowed by the dynamic Maggie Karpuk. She served as an eloquent and unflappable voice; the community thanks her deeply for the courage, determination and utmost professionalism she displayed through this experience.
It has been suggested that we turn this blog over to Fire Camp 8 and let this be their place to share what is happening at the camp with the local community. I think it is a great idea!
