 Steve Walsh, a communications director for the American Red Cross that's helping run the shelter, says the volunteers and evacuees share a bond around recurring disasters. These are neighbors of theirs, so they've all been through fires for many years. He says the mental toll of not knowing where the fire has been is weighing on evacuees. This is arguably one of the most stressful situations in a person's life when they don't know if they can go back home. Fire weather conditions have started to calm, and some have been able to go home.
