Recovery & Resources / AN ORANGE COUNTY GUIDE TO COPING WITH FIRE

The fear ebbs along with the flames, and soon problems in the fire zone edge toward the mundane: What do I do with all the ashes? How do I get the smell of smoke out of the curtains? How do I begin to rebuild? Where am I going to vote on Tuesday? And there is the not-so-mundane: A grandfather who has turned quiet all of a sudden. A spouse who’s having nightmares. A child who wants to know why bad things happen. A pet who is still missing. There is lots of help out there. Just look inside.
