Wildlife Waystation Needs Water – You Can Help BY STAFF WRITER
Water trucks are critical to every day operations and care of the animals.
July Fourth Fireworks Destroy a House in Azusa A family of five was left homeless after Monday night’ July Fourth fireworks, according to LA County Fire. Los Angeles County Fire said no one was injured but the house was a total loss, as a result of fireworks. The fire broke out
at 11:24 p.m. at a back house in the 17700 block of Woodcroft Street, which is in the unincorporated county area near Azusa. Firefighters knocked down the blaze at 11:53 p.m. The Red Cross was called in to assist the family.

With temperatures already soaring to triple digits and a long, hot, dry summer still ahead, Wildlife Waystation has had an unexpected, expensive setback - their large water truck tank has rusted, is in disrepair, and is leaking terribly. This water tank is a critical piece of equipment for keeping rescued animals watered and cool. The Waysation needs to get a new one quickly, but they really need your help. A new water tank costs $20K, a price Wildlife Waystation cannot pay at this time. Water trucks are critical to every day operations and care of the animals. Water is required for the animal's pools, misters to
keep them cool, and also to keep the enclosures and facility clean. It is also absolutely necessary to have a water truck tank ready and full, should our worst nightmare happen, a fire … it could be the difference between life and death in that case. This is a very important tool that the Waystation simply cannot do without. Your support will help Wildlife Waystation be prepared for unexpected expenses and continue to provide the excellent care that their over 400 rescued animals deserve.
