United Cajun Navy sends relief to wildfire victims [Video]

CALIFORNIA, THREE MAJOR WILDFIRES ARE DEVASTATING PARTS OF THE STATE. SOME 180,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EVACUATED FROM THEIR HOMES. AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE HAVE DIED. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS INCREASING ITS FUNDING TO ASSIST WITH THE RESPONSE. AND NOW WERE LEARNING THAT LOUISIANIANS ARE STEPPING UP TO HELP. SHAWANDA JONES HAS MORE ON HOW THE CAJUN NAVY IS STEPPING UP TO ASSIST CALIFORNIA. THE UNITED CAJUN NAVY IS TAKING ACTION LOADING TRUCKS IN LOUISIANA AND SENDING CRITICAL SUPPLIES TO VICTIMS OF WILDLIFE FIRES IN CALIFORNIA. LETS LOAD THE TRUCKS AND GET THEM ON THE ROAD. WELL FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO. SO WHILE WE HAD ONE TRUCK ON THE ROAD ALREADY THIS MORNING, WEVE ALREADY GOT SEVERAL LOCATIONS. AND ONCE PEOPLE KNOW WERE COMING NOW, THEYRE ALL THEYRE BEATING THE DOORS DOWN. WHILE THE TRUCKS MAKE THEIR 30 HOUR DRIVE OUT WEST, WE COULD SEE THE SMOKE. WE COULD SEE THE FIRE FROM OUR HOUSE. LOUISIANA NATIVES LIVING JUST SIX MILES FROM ONE OF THE WILDFIRES IN PLAYA VISTA. YOU KNOW, SMOKE WAS SO BAD AND IT WAS LIKE RAINING ASH EVERYWHERE ON THE WEST SIDE. OUR OFFICE, MY OFFICE WORK OFFICE IS IN VENICE, SO ITS EVEN CLOSER. NO STRANGER TO NATURAL DISASTERS LIKE TORNADOES AND HURRICANES. BEING A LOUISIANA NATIVE. BUT SHE SAYS THIS IS DIFFERENT WITH HURRICANES. YOU HAVE A WARNING, USUALLY TO GET OUT. ITS COMING. ITS ON THE WAY. THE AFTERMATH OF A HURRICANE THAT YOU CANT PREDICT, SIMILAR TO A FIRE WITH THE FIRES. TO ME, THIS WAS SCARY BECAUSE IT WAS SO UNPREDICTABLE FROM THE EAST COAST TO THE WEST COAST. THE UNITED CAJUN NAVY IN BATON ROUGE IS LENDING A HELPING HAND ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
