| Dear Neighbors,
The recent fires near our area have been devastating, and my heart goes out to everyone who has been impacted. It’s hard to comprehend the loss, fear, and uncertainty that so many are facing. During times like these, I am reminded of the strength and resilience of our community.
I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to our first responders—firefighters, emergency personnel, and law enforcement—who have worked tirelessly to protect lives, homes and our neighborhoods. Their bravery and dedication inspire all of us, and I am so thankful for their service.
As we continue to recover and rebuild from the Mountain Fire and face power outages from other So Cal Fires, I want to make sure you know that help is available, especially for those still without power or dealing with other challenges.
