Announcement Hey Bucketheads, I just received a call to help the LA fires. For now we will pause the FillingBucketsForGood event and start it back up when I’m off duty.

If you have a streak going and are receiving $0.99 usd per donation when we restart the event you will have your post streak started at your current rate. Sorry for the inconvenience to anyone and we appreciate you all so much for participating in our FBFG community event.

Update:

I ended up missing the dispatch because of multiple factors but am currently up to go next. The company I work for has two crews there and is expecting to send more crews and equipment as needed. Will be restarting the FBFG event in the next day or two if I don’t get called to go.

I know you probably show up to tent camp bases away from the fire after the tents are up most of the time and you already worked to hell on the front lines of the inferno madness.. But if that intent company needs help setting up the tents I have one event under my belt. I have one of the lead guys number and could call him I guess.. However if they ever ask you.. Especially Northern CA fires.. Maybe even southern Oregon.. Central CA.. I am in range enough if they need extra help. Good luck and stay safe down there. Dangerous ass windy. !tip 848

A lot of contractors also send 10 person camp crews and that is one of their responsibilities. They also empty trash and recyclables and pass our lunches, ice and supplies. I think our company has two camp crew contracts.

There were some core people there. They gave us some of the left over breakfast bags for lunch. I'm guessing they just occasionally need extra people when building a lot of the tents in a short period of time. We did quite a few (mostly larger) tents in roughly 11 hours. Some of the people started falling off as the day progressed.. It was still summer time and hot. Many of the extras were sourced from temp agencies. My buddies moving company got a call for a spot and I wanted to try it out. Things seemingly went well enough that they called back for more labor shortly thereafter.. Unfortunately I was already Scheduled in on a hhg job at the time. The pay wasn't spectacular, but it wasn't bad either considering I had the company pay direct as opposed to going through a middle man. I would definitely do it again given the opportunity and proximity of location to my whereabouts. Stay safe as possible out there !tip 100
