As firefighters and first responders continue fighting the good fight against the Southern California windstorms and wildfires, the geek community has been stepping up in some big ways when it comes to recovery and relief efforts. Earlier today, Multihouse and Bond Companies announced that the day-long MultiCon – a wildfire benefit for United Way of Greater Los Angeles – is set to hit The Preserve L.A. on February 22. With the organizers providing complimentary tickets, autographs, and pictures to first responders and those displaced by the wildfires, here’s a look at what you need to know:
