CG Pro on the LA Wildfires
Jan 12, 2025The recent fires that have swept through the City of Los Angeles have caused devastating loss and disruption, displacing many individuals, including the CG Pro Co-Founders, while claiming lives and leaving widespread destruction in their wake. The fires have also led to the suspension of productions, with poor air quality and the need to keep roadways clear for emergency responders. As Colleen Bell, executive director of the California Film Commission, poignantly stated, “The entertainment industry, deeply rooted in this region, faces significant challenges as productions are halted, facilities are threatened, and cherished landmarks are damaged. These fires remind us of the importance of community and resilience during times of crisis.” (per the Hollywood Reporter.) In the face of this tragedy, we are reminded of the strength and solidarity that define us as we come together to support one another.
In the days to come, please keep an eye out for GoFundMe campaigns and other fundraising efforts to support those who are suffering during this challenging time. Many individuals and families are in desperate need of assistance, and your support can make a significant difference. Additionally, resources like Airbnb are offering free temporary housing to those impacted by the fires. You can learn more about this initiative and how to access support or offer help through this link: Airbnb Housing Support. We were able to access this resource but keep in mind it can take several days due to demand.
Let us come together to support each other as we navigate this crisis. Wishing you all the best. Please reply if there is anything we can do.
