Residents in the cities of Bradbury and Duarte, as well as parts of La Cañada Flintridge, have been allowed to return home as evacuation orders have been lifted following the Eaton Fire in California. However, the community of Altadena, which was significantly impacted by the fire, remains off-limits as per the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Those returning to their homes are urged to exercise caution as they navigate the area. There are potential hazards such as unstable structures, downed power lines, trees blocking roads, and other dangers that may pose risks to residents. Additionally, individuals are advised to refrain from direct contact with ash, which could contain harmful substances. It is recommended to wear sturdy shoes, gloves, and masks for protection.
The sheriff’s department has assured that there will be a visible presence in the repopulated and evacuated areas over the next few days to ensure the safety and security of residents and their properties. This measure aims to provide reassurance to the returning residents and maintain order in the affected regions.
