Hollywood actress Elizabeth Chambers argues not enough was being done by the government during the LA fires. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Chambers, 42, was asked if she believed city officials did everything they could to contain the Los Angeles fires. "I think it was a disaster," she remarked. "I don't think anybody was ready. I think it is on a scale that nobody anticipated."
Chambers' Criticism of Rick Caruso
Chambers shared her sentiments regarding billionaire real estate developer and former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso. "And then Caruso saved Palisades Village. … You can get political, or you can't. But, at the end of the day, he had as much time as everyone else to get ready. … I mean, it's untouched. It's eerily untouched."
Caruso's Response
Caruso, who unsuccessfully ran against Karen Bass for mayor in 2022, previously said the non-existent water supply as the Palisades Fire reduced multimillion-dollar real estate to ashes represented "absolute mismanagement by the city."
Evacuation and Parenting
Chambers detailed the moment she had to evacuate as she immediately gathered her and her children's personal belongings. "I took our passports. I took birth certificates. I took pictures of just like that … were around the house … older family photos," she explained to Fox News Digital.
Raising Money for Victims
Chambers is helping raise money for the victims of the California fires through her charity, Cupcake for a Cause. The Bird Bakery owner is donating 100% of the proceeds from their Strawberry Lemonade Cupcake to the Los Angeles Fire Department until February 1.
Conclusion
Overall, Elizabeth Chambers is actively involved in supporting the victims of the California fires and criticizing the government's response to the disaster. Her efforts to raise funds and awareness showcase her commitment to helping those in need during challenging times.
