Altadena residents cope with difficult conditions inside Eaton Fire zone

[@mariarohmer2374]

I am kinda mad. I drove to drop off several bags of clothes, including warm coats, jackets, 20+ pants, shirts, etc and was turned away from 3 sites. Even though it was online the Rose Bowl was going to be accepting donations until Sunday turns out it was not. I was sent to PCC and there was nothing. No signage, no indication of any donation drop. I decided to go to Santa Anita because it was well reported as an open donation and volunteer center. I was turned away from there as well. I am happy that enough donations were received to help all the people who needed help, but if these places are going to work with the media then they need to make sure the right information is put out there, so people planning to donate know what to do and where not to go. I ended up leaving my bags outside a nearby church hoping they would find people who could use the clothes. It was only when I got home that I found out there were open homes in Altadena where I could have left my donation. I was right there in the area and could have dropped the bags off in a home where people in the city could easily walk over and find something they might need. If this option had been made known via media then I would not have had to drive to all these places only to be turned away. The coordination here was poor and misleading.

They have more than enough cloths. Toiletries, wipes are more appropriate.

The lack of flexibility from authorities is mind blowing. He should simply be given permission to come and go, some kind of document. So simple.

PAPERS, PLEASE!

Exaclty! Let the man sign a waiver and be done with it. If the only concern is re his safety and health it's his home and his decision. We do not need to be adding any more stress to anyone's life!

Once the property has been cleaned up the city/county should provide low cost temporary housing trailers and allow people to live on their property while they wait for rebuilding. Everyone won’t be able to rebuild at the same time so at least people wouldn’t have to vie for a place to live while they’re deciding on next steps.

That's the humane thing to do. We'll see what assistance people here really get, particularly concerning this new administration.

Imagine in the United States of American being a prisoner in your own home.

He is prepared. The electric will be out for a while. I was going to call him crazy but I see why he is staying.

[@romeysiamese6662]

If he had to pay rent somewhere….they say rent is $4-5K in a home in that are. That’s bs.

Putting the wrong people in office has consequences. Hopefully these people have learned now but I doubt it since Stockholm Syndrome is a thing in CA.

[@brooklynstreets7649]

The cops should assume if a man is driving in the zone that his home has survived and that he's not someone looking for burnt up destroyed junk. They always have to assume every person they come across is doing something wrong, when it's the police getting caught stealing from people Thats why i cant stand the police.

[@califiasrevenge]

police and fire!

Come on KPIX, I want an overview, current status. I don't need to see how one guy is "camping out" in his house. Local news is always bad.

[@maxmk8]

Camp out in their home ? You mean live in their home ? Wtf kind of reporting is this

[@califiasrevenge]

where’s he from? and why would you stay in a toxic environment like that? thankfully there aren’t any children involved…. people are out there cooking in that air? 😵‍💫😳😷😖😶
