Three weeks after the storm began on Tuesday evening, Alphonso Brown Basadena City City Round the gymnasium. Land speculators I hope you can use the misery of Altadena.

“Altadeena is not for sale.”

Victoria Nab, president of the Altadeena Town Council, who lost his house, descended on stage and said, “I want everyone to take a deep breath and lose his life for this extinct fire.”

Like many people in the West Altadeena, there is no warning, and it is not alive.

He said his name was Rose Robinson. Baseball Great Jackie Robinson is his uncle, and his father, Mac Robinson-Pasadena city college student-a-player-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-trash processist year man-to Silver medalist at the 1936 Summer Olympics In Berlin.

“We lost the suitcase he took to the Olympics,” he said of the fire that destroyed his house and everything in it.

Meeting at BCC, organized by a profit -owned company Change the reactionIn order to support the fire victims, participants were given up to $ 5,000 relief tests.

“We will rise from ashes stronger than ever before” Bishop Charles Dorsi Lifline Beloship Christian Center.

La County Supervisor Katherine Parker, released in 2028, told the crowd that the Board had unanimously approved a resolution he had written. Regulated and strong recovery And re -creating the effort. President Trump, who visited the policies last week – but not Altadeena – said, “He has promised resources to ensure that the community is being brought back.”

I think she is smart for her to call her as a separate Republican in the Supervisor Group, with Parker, sometimes in a state of war with Trump Trump to see the damage First hand in LA County. It is better to discuss him than to return from it.

In order to carry a hat for federal expenses, I am more suspicious of any resources of the White House.

After a meeting on Tuesday, I talked to Bargar, why the residents of the West Altadeena have been delayed, and some other things, including calling for an inquiry into the risks and qualifications of the persistent matters, be a high -risk fire zone.

On Trump:

Barker said that when the candidate spoke about the hard workers who had trouble or mortgage, Trump was talking about residents of Altadeena when they felt like they were falling behind them. They need his help.

“As the president of the United States, he has the ability to cut some red tape,” said Parker. “We need the federal government. I think a great man stood up and said, 'I respect this president. I am going to work with him.'

Move quickly is a thing. Move recklessly another. Barker representing the unified Altatena area, the right balance must be detected when removing toxic garbage, and deciding when it is safe to go back. Painful residents – understandable – prefer a quick process, but moving very quickly.

In breaks in the exhaust warning system:

“People don't want to ask firefighters that they did what they did. They want to know why they are not told to leave,” said Parker, who called for an external, independent investigation of what he was wrong.

As the Times reported, residents in Western Altatena, A historic black neighborhoodElectronic discharge notifications have been received than those who live in more comfortable neighborhoods in the East. All deaths occurred in the Eaton fire in West Altadeena.

Two miles to the east, then the fire that started in the south of Eaton Canyon did not expect no one could have expected, and then go west, and suddenly and brutally, the embarraries blow 60 miles and faster winds.

But it has not yet explained why the neighborhoods in the east were electronicly warned at 7:26 pm on January 7, and residents in the West were not available until 3:25 am the next day. (In a state with a few learning opportunities when it comes to a deadly, raging wildfire, it does not forgive the fact that some parts of LA have received false discharge alerts due to a software stumbling block.)

The main part of the alarm system has the bartever's concerns about the limits of the cell phones, because some people do not have them, forget to charge, do not ask them, or do not keep them close when they sleep. In Altatena, some residents were warned by representatives, but for many, it was too late to save anything.

County should explore other options, said the Parker, and asked if an ancient air strike system could be operated.

“I thought about this,” he replied. “In La Creasenda, you have got a valley. They have complained that there is a bad cell service. If they are on fire, how will they be notified?

It takes some jobs to determine the possibilities, but sometimes it is not a bad thing to return to the basics. “

When rebuilding more dangerous fire in high -risk firefighters, such as Altatena, its tree is near the forests and forests:

“People who live there have the right to rebuild,” said Parker, who said he hoped the problem was negative.

“I talked to a qualified officer. Its house was always in the family. I looked at her and said,” You can't build it. Sorry. Climate change, “said Parker.” But what I say, we will give you all the evidence we can, so you When building again, you do it to recognize that you are in a higher fire zone. “

Parker was talking about standard fire-bordering techniques such as proper vent covers, fire-resistant and brush permits.

“I don't understand why it costs so much to harden a house. But we have to offer tax benefits or financial privileges to do it.”

I mentioned that the Times ran away now The story of Santa Rosa neighborhood It was rebuilt after the fire was destroyed, and there were no trees by design.

Parker said that the damaged trees in Altadeena should come down, but “One of the duties we have done to the community is that we will save any tree we can. My mother was saying… the trees make a community. If you go to some of these new improvements that do not keep trees, it looks sterile. ”

Of course, we all love trees. But California did not burn.

If sterile is safe, it is the cost of survival.
