Several other members\u2019 houses have extensive damage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most of the town\u2019s residents have been evacuated, and few have been allowed to return.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nearly 2,000 firefighters continue to battle the blaze that officials say was sparked by a lightening strike on Aug. 18 and has scorched nearly 30,000 acres of the rural area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Members of Manton Grange No. 732 have used, among other tools, their Grange Facebook page to stay in contact with one another while they\u2019ve been displaced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A post in the group notes that a Manton Grange member\u2019s home, destroyed by the fire, was featured on a local CBS news report.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As some members of the Manton community returned, they found a waterline<br \/>\nsupplying about 54 homes in the area was destroyed by the fire. Local grocers have donated drinking water and Grange members unaffected have offered their water supplies to others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As members discuss news coverage and the distress caused by the fire, many things remain uncertain, including the state of their Grange Hall, located on Forward Road in Manton, about 170 miles north of Sacramento.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, members of a group within the Sacramento Pomona Grange No. 2, called GREAT, have already reached out to their Brothers and Sisters in need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">GREAT, Grange Relief Emergency Action Team, was established as a 501(c)3 in 2008 after five Grange members in the Paradise area lost or found their homes damaged by another wildfire, group coordinator Leslie S. Parker, of Rosemont, Calif., said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe group works to find resources, including clothes, school supplies, computers and more for Grange members while they wait for insurance or FEMA to respond after an emergency,\u201d Parker, who serves as Overseer of Orangevale Grange No. 354, said. \u201cOur main goal is to respond to a family or neighborhood where members are in need of help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The group also lends volunteer assistance, such as clean up crews and private evacuations, said Parker.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Parker said as the situation develops, it is unclear what assistance is most useful to the members at this point. Parker is coordinating relief and service efforts, and suggests contacting GREAT by email at <span \n                data-original-string='dXihqacdZRbW5RFGLlq7tA==483wBxkscD+eUuQK99PUucuPNSZPiPqu1VaPVRQCScsoAs='\n                class='apbct-email-encoder'\n                title='This contact has been encoded by Anti-Spam by CleanTalk.
