MARIPOSA, Calif., July 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To help those
impacted by the Detwiler Wildfire in Mariposa County, CA, and other California wildfires, AT&T1 has
activated its Text-to-Donate Campaign. Wireless customers can make
a $10 donation to assist those
affected by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to support the American Red
Cross. Customers can text up to five times for a total donation of
$50. AT&T won't charge any fees
for texting to donate. Customers will see their donation on their
monthly AT&T bill. AT&T donates 100 percent of the proceeds
to the American Red Cross.
AT&T continues to keep its Emergency Response Team deployed
in Mariposa County to assist first
responders, and members of the community who have evacuated from
their homes due to the Detwiler Fire. AT&T's mobile cell site
called Satellite Cell on Light Truck (or Sat COLT) continues to run
at the Mariposa County Fairgrounds to provide communications
support at the Detwiler Fire Command Site. The location is hosting
Cal Fire first responders,
who are leading the Detwiler fire response.
AT&T's Sat COLT provides cellular service in the deployment
area, and is targeted to support those working in the command site
to help keep communications flowing. As a self-contained mobile
cell site, a Sat COLT can be quickly set up to replace lost
capacity from a damaged permanent site, or as in this case, provide
supplemental cellular capacity to an area experiencing an increase
in demand. The deployment is being staffed by AT&T's California
Field Operations team members.
