On the morning of January 8th, when the representative searched the Sicarda high -end house, the Eaton fire broke out.
The evacuation order in the region was released a few hours ago, and the facility seemed to have evacuated-but the team wanted to determine, because they had found an elderly woman who tried to leave the facility to Walk Dog, but ignored the fire of aggression.
Quinn Alkonis, a sheriff in Los Angeles County, said: “Every window we watched is like, ‘the fire is here.'” “We can see the flames around. We know that we have a job to do and make sure no one is thrown behind. “
After ensuring the safety of the dog aid, Alkonis and other representatives searched the MonteCEDRO high -level nursing community with a flashlight, knocking on the door, and yelling the corridor. When they reached the third floor, they heard a weak voice.
“Don’t lose me,” a woman using Walker said to the representative. The 100 -year -old young man told them that she was lost and her hearing aid was not accused. This was displayed by a video of the camera worn by officials.
Alcanis said, “Obviously, she is trying to leave the building.” We “just shocked her there, but we found that she found her.”
With the way, Alkonis and her partner Nicholas Martinez led two women to safely and checked that no one else was inside.
“If we are not there, who knows what will happen?” Alkonis said on Wednesday morning that she remembered the situation earlier this month.
According to the “Times” investigation, the chaos assistance of the high -level community further emphasizes extensive problems and concerns about evacuation from the west side of Altadena on the west side of Altadna. It is nearly 10 hours after distribution.
At least 17 people died in the fire. All of these are west of Lake Avenue. That night, Western Altadena had never received evacuation warnings, and the evacuation order did not appear until about 3:30 am or later)-after the flame threatened the area.
County officials called for external censorship on evacuation alerts, and why West Altadine was so late.
Monte Sadro facilities are located in the west of Beihu Avenue. The evacuation area received the order at 5:42 am on January 8th, which is the latest notice of leaving in the area. The notice is based on the archive of the archive.
However, officials of the bishop community and services are non -profit organizations operating Monttocro facilities. He said that even before the order came, his team began to evacuate residents after 4 am, and with the Los Angeles County Fire Department and Sheriff Sheriff and Sheriff’s Chiefs. The department is combined. At about 6 am, the region’s broadcasting traffic requires more to help evacuate the “four -layer and rehabilitation houses” of the Montesdro community address.
The non -profit organization said it used eight city buses and two facilities buses to transfer residents and employees to the Passadina Conference Center and arrived shortly after 7 am.
The statement said: “Firefighters and members of the Montedro team made two complete travels in the building, including triggering fire alarms and checking each residence.” “However, two independent living residents have not encountered it. Nor did it take a bus. ”

The statement said that the staff of ECS realized that the two residents-women who tried to Walk dogs and women who found 100-year-old women inside-about the representatives discovered them at 9:30 am. They said that it is unclear why the two women “did not encounter in the first or second sweeping of the building.”
ECS CEO James Rothrolk said in a statement: “Nearly 200 people moved to nearly 200 people within a few hours. Some people encountered cognitive problems or other obstacles and were far away from their homes. “Speaking of which, we discovered the gap between the plans and implementation we are trying to understand and correct. It is worth mentioning that it is deep, space review. ”
The state’s social service spokesman Jason Montiel has recently obtained Montecedro’s permission in 2023.
Alkonis and Martinez said they were sent to the place for about three hours after the evacuation order to check the area without obtaining information about the removal of the facilities.
ALKONIS said: “We know this is a chaos-who knows what happened before we arrived-but we are glad that we are there.” “Entering and ensuring that they will leave as our job.”
All representatives who talked to the New York Times on Wednesday refused to comment on the evacuation process, or after they left. Martinez and Alkonis are usually located in Carson, and they said during the search process that they could not find other employees or residents.
LASD officials did not immediately answer any further investigations about the two women’s remaining investigations.
According to the county’s damage assessment, although senior nursing institutions survived the fire, it suffered some slight fire damage. But around, several houses were destroyed.
Martinez said, “It may be bad.” “For a moment, I saw that every corner was on fire, but in my mind … we must ensure that everyone comes out.”
