‘Medicine for the heart’: North Bay donation drive for LA fire victims gets big response [Video]

In the North Bay, a convoy of relief supplies will soon be headed to Southern California to help those impacted by the firestorm disaster.

Chris Brown from Petaluma is feeling pretty grateful that so many folks are stepping up to help the people of LA impacted by the wildfires.
