He has served on the Montecito Fire Protection District board since 2012. Abe and his wife, Jessica, created the Bucket Brigade on January 28, 2018, to help the community respond to the disastrous 1/9 Debris Flow, which came right after the Thomas Fire. The disaster caused 23 fatalities and over 150 injuries.  More than 100 homes were destroyed and an additional 300 homes were damaged. The SB3, led by Abe &amp; Jessica has helped those directly affected by the debris flow – digging mud and debris out of homes, helping families find lost belongings, cleaning up public open spaces, helping to restore local trails and rescuing endangered oak trees.Since then, more than 3,000 volunteers have helped dig the community out.The Santa Barbara Bucket Brigade was created to prepare for and respond to natural disasters and community crises through volunteer training, coordination and deployment.
