As wildfires continue to spread through Los Angeles County, two granddaughters, Dalyce Kelley and Loree Beamer-Wilkinson, are anxiously waiting for confirmation about the fate of their 95-year-old grandmother, Dalyce Curry, who they suspect may have perished in the Eaton Fire. This destructive fire has scorched over 14,000 acres in Altadena, California, and is only 27% contained.
Kelley last saw her grandmother on the day the fire ignited. They were together earlier at a medical center, but upon returning home, they did not feel the fire was close. However, when Kelley returned a few hours later, she was met with a dark, smoky atmosphere.
After hearing of the fire’s rapid spread, Kelley immediately contacted 911 and rushed back, only to find that the fire had engulfed the area. An officer confirmed the worst, telling Kelley that her grandmother’s house was completely destroyed, with only a blue Cadillac remaining on the property. Since then, the granddaughters have been struggling to get any official updates from the authorities, who have yet to visit the area.
The family remains in limbo, desperately hoping for good news but fearing the worst. They’re calling for better communication systems for evacuations, particularly for the elderly community that could be affected in such disasters.
