August 17, 2017 - Brad and Corinne White of White Hot Tees came down from Diamond Springs to sell t-shirts, hats and mugs, at the Detwiler Fire just like quite a few others. When they heard what our little community had been through, they knew they had to help in any way they could.

They contacted the Mariposa County Volunteer Fire Officers Association to help them collect and distribute funds and started writing checks from their daily sales. By the time they left for home, besides being baked by the sun for over a week, they had donated $1,600 to the victims of the Detwiler Fire.

We would like to thank Brad & Corinne, and everyone who donated money, goods and/or energy to help those recovering from their loss.
