Community Members Vital to our Recovery are Being Targeted

As ICE activity has increased in and around the Eaton Fire burn scar, day laborers, many of whom are part of mixed-status communities, are facing serious threats to their safety while performing essential remediation work in our neighborhoods. These workers are helping remove debris from destroyed lots as well as clean and restore homes impacted by toxic contamination. Yet now they’re being forced to choose between their safety and their livelihoods.
How You Can Help:
A Go Fund Me organized by Fire Poppy has been launched to provide direct support to these workers, helping cover lost wages, legal resources, and other urgent needs. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference.

EFRU needs POST REMEDIATION industrial hygienist tests

Did you submit a pre remediation test to EFRU? Or perhaps you didn’t do a pre remediation test and only did a post remediation test? 

Either way, EFRU is asking the community to submit post remediation reports. Submitting your indoor environmental test to EFRU helps raise awareness of home contamination, supports advocacy for insurance and government coverage, and strengthens the push for more funding and remediation in Altadena, Pasadena, and Sierra Madre. All personal information is redacted, and test locations are mapped only to the nearest cross street to protect privacy. Your submission helps 

  • inform the public

  • engage the media and 

  • push for stronger local remediation efforts. 

Thank you for supporting our mapping effort:

Altadena Sheriff’s Station Advisory

The LA County Sheriff’s Department issued the following statement:

"The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Altadena Station is proud to announce the launch of a new community tool: AltadenaTips@lasd.org, a dedicated email address for residents to report suspicious activity and submit photos or videos that may assist in criminal investigations.

This new initiative is part of the department’s ongoing commitment to community-based policing and increasing transparency and collaboration between law enforcement and the public.

Residents are encouraged to:

  • Send photos or videos capturing suspicious or criminal activity

  • Include the location (street address or cross streets)

  • Provide their name and phone number (optional)

  • Remain anonymous if preferred

“Our goal is to empower the community to be proactive in public safety,” said the Altadena Station Captain. “We view our residents as partners — extra eyes and ears who can help us act quickly and effectively to keep Altadena safe.”

Submissions to AltadenaTips@lasd.org will be reviewed by investigators and may support ongoing investigations or help identify emerging issues in the community.
