Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ka lehulehu e ka hana āna a me kāna mau hoa hana i hana ai ma San Bernardino. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua pau kēlā hana. Manaʻolana, e hoʻi koke ʻo Sandy a me ke koena o ka UCC i ka hana.
E nā hoa aloha a me nā hoa:
E like me ka nui o ʻoukou i ʻike, ua pani ko mākou aupuni federal ma muli o ka ʻae ʻole ʻana o ka ʻahaʻōlelo i ke kānāwai no ke kālā kālā ʻana i nā keʻena aupuni a me nā lawelawe. ʻO ka hopena, ua hoʻopau kēia pani i nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe e hilinaʻi nei i ke aupuni federal e like me ka Southern California Mountains Foundation. ʻOiai ʻaʻole i hoʻolako kālā ʻia ke keʻena holoʻokoʻa e ke aupuni pekelala, ʻo ka hapa nui o ia mea ma o ka US Forest Service.

Ua haʻi ʻia iaʻu i kēia lā [ʻOkakopa 8] e koʻu luna, ʻo Sarah Miggins no kēia hana a makemake wau e hōʻike i kā mākou mau hoa a me nā hoaaloha i kēia ʻano.
