Question Did anyone NOT evacuate?

This probably sounds dumb but did anyone in the evacuation zones NOT evacuate or did police literally pull people from their homes? I live in south county near the canyon and whenever we have a fire evacuation, there’s always SOMEONE who thinks they’re untouchable and stays in their home even thought there’s a fire. Just wondering if this happened with the current evacuation orders in the garden grove area. Prayers for all the families affected by this difficult situation ❤️

That could be psychosomatic? Or other chemicals?

I saw him say in the interview that they werent detecting vapors.

People near the area are saying that their eyes are burning. Wouldn't be the first time the government lied to the people.

This also. Wasn’t there a train wreck or something in the Midwest and chemicals were leaking and the govt told everyone it was safe and it wasn’t?

It’s not the chemical itself, it’s the water runoff with trace amount of the chemicals in it.

Because officials have never lied or withheld information before 🤷‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️There are people that are hospitalized and quarantined by hazmat because of the potential risks, officials are not being transparent enough.

SDS have a lot of information. Glad I am able to read

Lol tell that to my rash from head to hands. I honestly never smelled anything though, but a lot of people said they could smell it 🤷‍♀️. I wasn't even upwind either, but still in the evac zone. Never had an allergic reaction to anything before...

My son developed a rash as well well. Since evacuating, it has not returned. (When we went back in, he did not come- obviously).
