Lance Cpl. Cory Schultz from the 24th Foxtrot Company stationed at Camp Pendleton volunteers his time to help out stranded families at the evacuation center on Turner Field located on the Naval Amphibious Base Coronado. More than 400 military families from San Diego County and the surrounding areas take refuge from the wildfires struck several San Diego communities. More than a quarter-million people were urged to flee their homes across Southern California as wildfires blown by fierce desert winds raced over the landscape with terrifying speed, destroying hundreds of structures, clogging highways, sending smoke and ash over a wide area. The numerous fires in San Diego County currently threaten no Navy facilities. The Navy is working with various agencies to aide in combating the fires and providing assistance to both military and civilians. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication 2nd Class Mark A. Leonesio
