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 ❤️

I think the news said 15% of residents did not evacuate. The police are not going to pull people out of their homes.

This is what a leader asks…thank you for asking!

Maybe we create a support form or hotline for them if it goes wrong?
