SAN JOSE — The San Jose Police Officers’ Association and the Sikh Gurdwara of San Jose joined forces Tuesday to send an 18-wheeler full of supplies to fire-affected communities in the North Bay.

The groups met at the Sikh temple in the East San Jose hills to gather diapers, water, clothing, packaged food and other non-perishable goods and load them onto a big rig. That was then driven to the Sonoma County relief store managed by the Sonoma County Law Enforcement Association.

The North Bay fires were the most destructive set of wildfires in state history, killing at least 42 people, destroying nearly 6,000 homes and displacing thousands in Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Yuba and Solano counties.
