New: Even after California teacher Jason Agan was fired for sexual harassment and deemed “unfit to teach,” the finding was never made public. Amid a lack of oversight, nothing stopped him from getting hired by a second school, then a third. https://t.co/kAn3OZSZjf

#DavisFire Quick Facts from @HumboldtToiyabe for the morning of September 14, 2024

5824 Acres
76% contained
710 personnel

As firefighting crews have worked tirelessly to obtain 76% containment on the Davis Fire, our community has rallied together to support those affected. The Washoe County Sheriff's Office urges members of our community to remain vigilant against scammers looking to exploit others during crisis situations. Fraudsters may create fake fundraising campaigns, such as GoFundMe pages, to take advantage of your generosity.

Stay Safe and Protect Your Donations:

Verify Before Donating: Ensure that any fundraising campaign is legitimate. Only donate to trusted organizations or verified GoFundMe pages.

Watch for Red Flags: Be cautious of urgent or emotional pleas that push you to donate quickly. Scammers often create a sense of urgency.

Research Fundraisers: Check the organizer’s credentials and look for detailed information about how the funds will be used.

Report Suspicious Activity: If you come across a suspicious fundraiser, report it to GoFundMe and local law enforcement immediately.

By staying alert, you can help to ensure that your support reaches those who truly need it. Thank you for helping keep our community safe and strong, Washoe!
