 When a group of young Fillmore residents saw the flames from the Goodenough Fire Monday, they knew what they had to do; grab some shovels and get to work digging a fire break and breaking down brush. Antelmo Sandoval, not pictured, said it best, “We were just doing what we had to do to help our neighbors out.” Pictured (l-r) are Ray Alvarado, Jaime Ramos, Joseph Aguilar, Freddie Ponce Jr, Joseph Ponce and Kevin Ponce. The young men hiked from Maple Court to Foothill, helping from house to house as they passed by. They are an example of Fillmore’s best! Enlarge Photo |
