New shelter for Eaton Fire evacuees opening in Duarte
A new shelter for Eaton Fire evacuees will be opening in Duarte in coming days as the Pasadena Civic Auditorium prepares to cease operations soon.
Those currently living at the Pasadena center will be moved to the Pamela Park gymnasium, located at 2236 Goodall Avenue in Duarte, according to Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger.
The move comes as agreed upon between the Pasadena-based shelter and the American Red Cross. Originally when it was determined to be used as a shelter in the wake of the devastating fire, complex officials asked that the facility be returned to the city of Pasadena after the first week of February. An extension was granted for the time it took to find a new location.
Red Cross officials and Los Angeles County workers alike worked to find a shelter location that was closer to where the remaining evacuees lived, near their neighborhood resources and social networks, according to department officials.
Every household living at the Pasadena center was assigned a Red Cross shelter resident transition specialist to assist them through the difficult times. Their work includes helping provide transportation and ensure that clear plans are made for all affected by the wildfire.

Watch: 'Cinnamon' the bear spotted in backyard pool for first time since LA fires
Watch: 'Cinnamon' the bear spotted in backyard pool for first time since LA fires Show Caption Hide Caption Cinnamon the bear makes poolside return A neighborhood bear was seen for the first time since the Eaton Fire in January, taking a dip in a homeowners' pool. A local bear beloved in a Los Angeles County neighborhood made a splashy return to the public eye after not being spotted for nearly half a year. Residents in the city of Pasadena had begun to miss "Cinnamon" the bear, who was no where to seen since the Eaton Fire devastated the city in January. However on Wednesday, June 4, resident Ramona Mucciolo found the cherished mammal taking a dip at her home pool. Surveillance footage shared online shows Cinnamon chilling around the pool, cooling down ahead of the summertime. "I was in the kitchen looking out and she walked around to the shallow end and got in," Mucciolo told Storyful. Mucciolo said she lived across the street from the San Gabriel Mountains, which the destructive wildfire wrecked the area, particularly California's Altadena community. The Eaton Fire, along with the Palisades Fire burned over 37,000 acres for nearly a month killing at least 29 people. "Several bears frequented our neighborhood," she said. "Since the fire, none had returned until June 4, when Cinnamon showed up and relaxed in our pool. We rejoice at least one bear has survived the fires." 525-pound bear remerged from fires in February Cinnamon is not the only bear to rise from the ashes. In February, a 525-pound black bear was found hiding under the home of Altadena resident Samy Arbid, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The adult male, well-known to neighborhood residents as Barry, was discovered crouched in a crawl space beneath the home when a utility provider came to restore power. Bear finds refuge under an Altadena home during Eaton Fire A 525-pound bear was found under an Altadena home after the deadly Eaton Fire in Los Angeles, he was lured out to safety with treats. "I think during the fire he pretty much stayed there. I think he was scared," Arbid told local media outlets, according to Storyful, adding he "couldn't believe it." After a nearly 24 hour process, Barry exited the crawlspace and triggered the trap door within minutes from CDFW officials placing a trap. He was then transported to the Angeles National Forest, received a welfare check and a GPS collar before safely returning to the wild. Contributing: Saman Shafiq, USA TODAY
