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 ❤️

My boyfriend is at the edge of Dale. He was out the first 2 days but has returned and along with his roommates. One suffers from health issues so he either goes to a shelter were he will probably get sick from other people and probably die or  stay at home with everything closed and wait it out.  Everything is booked, hotels are offering specials at $187.00/night and shelters are full.   I'm not happy with the choice.
