Home of Hollywood struggles to cope after thousands of homes and businesses are destroyed
Patty Burns, a 93-year-old with a sparkling memory, has lived in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood of Los Angeles for more than 60 years. She always kept a black suitcase filled with important documents at the ready, in case of a fire. On Tuesday, she needed it. Her daughter, who lives just up the road, arrived at her doorstep that morning to usher her out of the house.
Many houses safely away from the burning hills filled with friends who had lost their homes or were unsure if they were still standing. “This is like a wealthy-person refugee crisis,” said Brydon Gerus, an app developer who also owns a branding agency. Gerus’s house in the Palisades burnt down on Tuesday, forcing his family to stay with friends in Brentwood. “We just have the clothes that we’re wearing. That’s it,” he said.
