Earlier this week, wildfires engulfed Southern California, resulting in destruction and lives lost. People were displaced instantly, with many losing their homes. The fire continues to grow due to the Santa Ana winds, affecting multiple areas in LA.

Baker Mayfield's wife Emily reached out through Instagram to those affected, desperately checking for updates.
