We shared most of her pictures with you on our live blog on Friday, January 9 and Saturday, January 10, which kept you updated throughout the day on the extreme heat, fires and other relevant information.

Rechelle was capturing images of firefighters, other volunteers on the ground, and how the fires had impacted the landscape.

See the best of what she captured through her lens below.
