Volunteer groups continue to deliver aid to snowed-in San Bernardino mountain residents, with little help from law enforcement, some say
“It’s sad. We have animals running loose, people that can’t get their medications,” said Dawn Diggle, another Operation Mountain Strong organizer. “Where are we seeing the sheriffs? I’ve seen one [California Highway Patrol officer] escorting a truck up here in 12 days, and that’s it. I’m not seeing any sheriffs. The only people I see are the fire department.”
