Who Are These Masked Men?
The above 7 Sunrise "FRAT" team (Fire Recovery Assistance Team) plus photographer and fishing friends of blue-capped Golden Hammer Leroy Carlenzoli catch their breath following a few hours of prepping Leroy & Carol's lot for the removal of debris. Leroy directed the crew to collect debris onto the foundation footprint for removal and reduction of potentially harmful runoff into nearby streams.
Out of 63 Sunrise members, 10 lost homes and have organized into an ongoing support network to assist each other through the maze of recovery and rebuilding red tape.

One of the many credible relief groups is Lake Area Rotary Club Association: www.larca5130.org. Organized after the 2015 Valley Fire, this 501c3 is composed of Sonoma, Napa, Lake and Mendocino County representatives to collect and distribute relief funding through local knowledge of needs and resources.
