The Almeda Fire: The Day Of

On September 8, 2020, a fire began in a dry brush field just north of the small southern Oregon town of Ashland. It quickly spread north through Talent and Phoenix, burning over 2,800 structures in its wake. How Disaster Led to Sharing and Rebuilding focuses on how the Almeda Drive Fire forever changed the small towns in Southern Oregon's Rogue Valley and the Harry & David family. Through sharing resources and interviews with residents and first responders, we’re dedicated to helping those affected by the wildfire that destroyed over 2,000 homes in our local community.

To support victims of the Almeda Fire, you can donate to the Teresa McCormick Center. A nonprofit located in Medford, Oregon, they’re committed to assisting and providing resources for all those affected by the wildfires.

It's ironic that Harry & David made this video after all the reports that they wouldn't even let their employees go home to check on their families and pets during the fire.

Lost everything but the clothes on my back. Even my cat is dead. I still cry...
