Help Support Bubba McClure and His Family After Devastating Fire

Help Support Bubba McClure and His Family After Devastating Fire

Bubba McClure has been a dedicated firefighter in Idaho for over 15 years, serving with IAFF Local 5327 in the Parma Rural Fire District, volunteering with the Ola Fire Department, and deploying to wildland fires with the Sand Hollow Fire District. Bubba and his family have deep roots in Ola, Idaho, where they live on their ranch.

On August 7th, 2024, Bubba was called back from his deployment on the Limepoint Fire to assist his community with fire protection. Upon returning home, he immediately joined forces with the Burea of Land Management and local mutual aid crews, working tirelessly to protect his neighbors' and friends' homes and lives.

The next afternoon, after fire crews were released for a brief rest period, the wind shifted unexpectedly. Bubba was awakened by the alarming news that the fire had returned, and in a harrowing moment, he narrowly escaped as his own house was engulfed in flames.

While the McClure family tragically lost their home, Bubba wants to express his deep gratitude to the local fire departments and firefighters. Thanks to their dedication, training, and hard work, only one house was lost to the Paddock Fire. Bubba also wants to emphasize the urgent need for more firefighters in Idaho and the United States.
