H. Res. 778 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
October 30, 2007. 
Whereas beginning on October 21, 2007, Southern California 
experienced a number of devastating wildfires destroying 
over five-hundred-thousand acres—the largest in the his-
tory of California—and over fourteen-hundred homes and 
countless other properties; 
Whereas high temperatures and erratic winds caused the 
multiple fires to rapidly progress in the counties of Ven-
tura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Santa Barbara, 
San Bernardino, and San Diego; 
Whereas loss of life and serious injuries have resulted from 
the fires; 
Whereas approximately one million residents of Southern 
California have been forced to evacuate their homes and 
businesses due to the fires; 
Whereas the effect of the wildfires on Southern California 
families and businesses is still being felt; 
Whereas thousands of firefighters from California and neigh-
boring States and countries continue to respond to the 
fires, risking health and safety and exhibiting resilience 
and courage to rescue residents and fight the blazes;
•HRES 778 EH 
Whereas over 2,500 National Guardsmen and other active 
duty military personnel are actively engaged in sup-
porting firefighters and relief operations; 
Whereas additional emergency personnel, such as law enforce-
ment and medical personnel, have coordinated with local 
authorities and firefighters and have performed beyond 
the call of duty in the preservation and protection of 
human lives; 
Whereas hundreds of volunteers took time from their daily 
lives to help ensure that evacuated families are sheltered, 
clothed, fed, and emotionally comforted through this 
traumatic event; 
Whereas it is clear that the continued commitment and her-
oism exhibited by firefighters have saved countless lives, 
homes, and businesses; 
Whereas the people of California and the nation recognize 
that the dedication of firefighters will remain steadfast 
throughout the ongoing efforts; and 
Whereas a major Federal disaster declaration was issued on 
October 24, 2007: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes and honors the heroic service, ac-
tions, and sacrifices of first responders, National 
Guardsmen, and law enforcement personnel, State and 
local officials, volunteers, and others who participated in 
responding to the October 21, 2007, outbreak of 
wildfires in Southern California;
•HRES 778 EH 
(2) expresses its commitment to the residents of 
Southern California as they begin to rebuild their com-
munity and their lives; and 
(3) vows its full support to and solidarity with the 
State of California.
