LA FIRES RESOURCES
LA Urban Fire Resources Collection
Parents Against Santa Susana Field Lab (PASSFL) is volunteering with the “Inter-Institutional Air Quality Study 2025 Los Angeles” as a community service. PASSFL was trained in ash sampling after the Woolsey Fire, and when asked to help after the LA Fires, PASSFL Co-Directors Jeni and Melissa eagerly agreed. PASSFL is now trying to support involved groups and impacted communities by building bridges and sharing resources. PASSFL fully understands the importance of toxic-free environments and public health.
