elderly living center evacuated during LA fires and left one resident behind... a 100 year old woman

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

Newly released bodycam footage from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows the moments that two deputies successfully located a 100-year-old woman who was still inside of a previously evacuated elderly living center, who was unable to get out while the devastating Eaton Fire raged nearby.

4. Fire drills at the assisted living facility where I once worked weren't always conducted properly.

On a couple occasions I can recall, residents were found, after the all clear signal, to have been in their bathrooms, unaware that the alarms had been sounding.

5. for office evacuation drills, each section leader had a list of names to refer to..

check that each person is accounted for

6. As a teacher, when we had fire drills

the first thing we did was take roll once we all reached our lineup spot. We were required to take a class list on a clipboard and a first aid kit outside after evacuating all the kids. Glad this lady is okay!
