Starbucks Corp. and AT&T Inc. have paired to provide relief to those displaced by the Station fire in the form of free coffee and free Internet service.

Coffee will be donated to fire staging areas and Red Cross evacuation centers, Starbucks said in a statement.

AT&T is offering free Wi-Fi service in 19 Starbucks locations in communities affected by the fire so people can stay in touch with family, friends and business contacts, said John Britton, an AT&T spokesman.

The free coffee and Wi-Fi efforts began Monday and will run through Sept. 15, Britton said. By then, it is hoped that the fires will be extinguished, he said.

The Station fire has consumed more than 120,000 acres over the last week, mostly in the Angeles National Forest. Two firefighters have been killed by the blaze.
