Bastrop County Crowdsourcing Wildfire Photos/Video for Historical Project

Bastrop County is soliciting help from the public as they collect video, photos, and personal testimonies related to the fires earlier this month. Mike Fisher from the Bastrop County Office of Emergency Management says, "While everything is still fresh in our minds, we want to document exactly what happened. We hope to create a complete and accurate record of the wildfires that began on September 4, 2011, for future generations. We also aim for this record to serve as a case study for our local emergency responders and for other departments that may face similar disasters in the future." Photos and testimonies may be submitted via the Bastrop County Wildfire Historical Project Facebook Page, and video to the Project's Vimeo group.
