Deputy assists resident after wildfires in Altadena

A resident in Altadena faced challenges after wildfires damaged her home. She found comfort when a sheriff's deputy inspected her backyard for safety. The Sheriff's Department has been supporting people unable to return to their homes since the fires occurred two months ago. While preparing to move back in, she was on a step stool trying to cover a window. The deputy noticed her and expressed concern for her safety, encouraging her to be careful. He then asked if there was anything he could do for her. Shortly after, he helped her cover the window that was too high for her to reach. This act of kindness reminded her of a time when her mother helped someone in need while her father was in the hospital. The deputy shared that he hoped someone would help his mother in a similar situation. The resident felt grateful, seeing the connection between helping others and receiving help in return.
