The Eaton Fire in Pasadena, California, greatly impacted the local homeless population, as many were displaced amid increasing flames and danger. Robert Bullock, a 70-year-old man who has lived homeless for over 20 years, witnessed the fire's destruction and knows many affected individuals personally. The fire has destroyed thousands of structures and left many without homes or access to emergency information due to a lack of resources, such as working cellphones. The local authorities strive for containment while the community grapples with the consequences of the disaster and ongoing evacuations.
"I thank God that I'm here," said Bullock, standing just outside of Robinson Park on Wednesday, Jan. 15. He was referring to the fire's rising death toll."
"The Eaton Fire... has destroyed over 12,000 structures, displacing tens of thousands of people. As of Tuesday, Jan. 21, the Eaton Fire is at 14,021 acres and 89% containment."
