Like millions of people nationwide and the firefighters on the line, we felt helpless watching flames race through people homes live on TV," said President and CEO Christopher Faulkner of C I Host. We decided there is something everyone could do and since we have the capability we believe an emergency victims relief site will help."

The website hosted by C I Host was registered today at www.CAwildfires.com and MAYO Communications, an Los Angeles Public Relations firm (www.MayoCommunications.com), will provide the content, which will include up to the moment news on fires, links to emergency resources, e-commerce to donate funds to the American Red Cross and Salvation Army aiding the homeless families.

In challenging other corporations to come forward, C I Host CEO and President Christopher Faulkner said, For every dollar donated to the site for fire victims, we will personally match them dollar for dollar.
