The Wildwood Crest Beach Patrol has launched a fundraising effort for lifeguards displaced by the Maui wildfire, already considered the nation’s deadliest fire in a century, even as the search for additional victims continues and the fire still burns. According to the Press of Atlantic City members of the Crest Beach Patrol are trying to help four Maui County lifeguards who lost their homes in the blaze. Ronnie Ayres, a veteran Crest lifeguard who lived in Maui for years before returning to South Jersey says we have a very strong connection to the island of Maui within our Beach Patrol.
