CA Guardsmen assist fire evacuation center

Staff Sgt. Timothy Barrera of the 270th Military Police Company, 49th Military Police Brigade, California Army National Guard, discusses the daily schedule with Deborah L. Dalton, executive director of Cavanagh Recreation Center in Petaluma, California. The center quickly became an evacuation facility for Sonoma County residents affected by the Northern California fires. Barrera’s team provided security as well as other means of helping the evacuees adjust to their new, temporary home. “It’s a blessing to have you people here,” Dalton said about the Guard members. “I love you people so much and I’m a fan.”
