Among many other items onboard were solar lights, cooking kits, hygiene kits, and plastic tarp to provide immediate relief to survivors of the deadly wildfires. The plane also carried tools and equipment that will help their volunteers sift through ashes to recover valuables and treasured mementos for devastated homeowners.
