The weather is definitely working in our favor.

At 8:25 a.m. when they got there, they saw heavy smoke and fire coming from the second floor.

We've seen that in this fire in the Topanga-Chatsworth area. We lost one structure, but we saved thousands of homes because we had that defensible space. We're able to do our job much more efficiently because of that.

Where everyone else was is still unknown.

They've told me to achieve and to reach for the stars. They've kept me on the right track.

It helped me a lot. It helped me realize that I wanted to be a pediatrician and gave me the skills to be ready for college.
