Today, Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger applauded the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for completing debris removal at the first private property in Altadena–a job that was completed in less than one working day.

“This is an amazing accomplishment,” said Supervisor Kathryn Barger. “The speed and agility of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is nothing short of astonishing and reflects their expertise. I applaud their focus and dedication to supporting recovery work in Los Angeles County. As their results multiply in the days to come, I ask Eaton Fire survivors to keep their hope alive. With the support of our federal, state, and local partners, a timely recovery is indeed possible. We are on the road to rebuilding our beloved Altadena.”
