The Pasadena Senior Center faced a challenging situation on Tuesday night as it evacuated its elderly residents to a nearby parking lot amidst the chaos caused by the Eaton fire spreading in the hills above Altadena. The scene was described as frantic, with workers racing against time to ensure the safety of all individuals.
According to reports from affiliate KCAL, the decision to evacuate was made as flames approached just a block away from the facility. Video footage captured the urgency of the situation, showing dozens of residents in wheelchairs, many of whom were only dressed in thin gowns and shawls to shield themselves from the cold night.
