As seen in her Instagram post on Monday, Jan. 13, Austin was on the ground to help deliver and sort donations of snacks and supplies to the fire base.
"It became very real for me today," she wrote underneath the series of clips. "1. I can’t believe this is our city right now. 2. I can’t believe the lives of these first responders right now. The bravery, the selflessness- heroes."
"Speaking with the firefighters. Seeing the fire damage on the hills. I don’t know if anyone could be emotionally prepared," the 31-year-old former athlete wrote. "I kept it together all day until I got home and it hit me hard."

In one of the clips, firefighters headed out in a fire engine to fight an active blaze. More footage gave a closer look at tents along the highway that have been hosting first responders in between shifts.
"It was eye opening to see how they sleep. How they eat.. cheezits and sunscreen made them light up," Austin wrote in her caption. "16-24 hour shifts. Seeing their faces with ash on it. Unimaginable."
"Thank you once again to each and every first responder," she added.
At the end of her caption, Austin wrote, "(And yes I'm reposting my stories because I'm too emotionally drained to do anything else ❤️)."
