Bastrop County Seeks Photos and Videos of Wildfires for Historical Record
I am contacting you to ask for your help in publicizing Bastrop County's efforts to document the historic Labor Day fires. We are asking everyone to submit photos, videos and personal accounts to create a historical record for the Bastrop County Office of Emergency Management and for future generations.
We want to collect as many photos and videos as we can to tell the complete story of the wildfires. Anyone can easily submit his or her photos and personal stories to our new Facebook page, Bastrop County Wildfire Historical Project: https://www.facebook.com/BastropCoWildfireHistoricalProject. Videos can be uploaded to our new Vimeo group: http://vimeo.com/groups/bastropcowildfirehistoricalproject.
We would love to tell you more about the project, or to set up an interview for you with Mike Fisher, coordinator of the Bastrop County Office of Emergency Management. Please let us know of any questions.
Thanks in advance for your consideration. We look forward to hearing from you!
