Dear Mr. Cullen:
On behalf of the City of Anaheim, I would like to personally thank you and your
agency for assisting us in combating the Windy Ridge Fire. The fire burned more
than 2,000 acres in Anaheim and Orange and required more than 900 firefighters
from agencies throughout the state.
The partnerships that are part of the mutual-aid response system proved
miraculously effective during the blaze and resulted in no lives or homes being
lost, despite the erratic conditions the firefighters and first responders faced.
From throughout the state,personnel and equipment arrived to help keep hundreds
of residents and millions of dollars in property safe by working side-by-side with
our Anaheim emergency personnel.
I realize how valuable your first responders and their resources are to the people
of your jurisdiction. I am grateful that you were able to share some of those
resources with us during this recent incident, and am confident that we will make
every effort to assist you and your jurisdiction, should the need ever arise.
Thank you for your support, and please relay our sincere appreciation to your fire
and law enforcement personnel.
Sincerely,
lll�v�
David M. Morgan
City Manager
