Their hard work and bravery should be commended at all times, not just during a crisis. Additionally, it would give them funding to share with those in need throughout the year. Thanks for all you do RVFD!" Donate to Help Families Affected by North Dakota Wildfires (GoFundMe Page): "I'm the owner of Aloha Pet Services, LLC. My team and I always try our best to help the people in our community. Two huge wildfires broke out in Ray, ND, and Watford City affecting a bunch of people. We have clients in both places and would love to help them in any way we can. All the money raised through this GoFundMe will be used to buy pet food, water, and any other supplies we can offer to the families who have been affected by the fires." Questions about insurance: ND Insurance Department: "In the wake of wildfires over the weekend affecting parts of North Dakota, Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread and State Fire Marshal Doug Nelson are reminding residents of the necessary steps to protect themselves and their property during the recovery process."
