October 11, 2019 Press Release

Porter Ranch, CA – Today, in response to the Saddleridge Fire, which has burned through 7,500 acres at the time of release, Congresswoman Katie Hill joined a bipartisan group of elected officials at the federal, state, and local level, as well as first responders, and dedicated volunteers, to give updates and communicate resources to affected constituents of CA-25 and across the region.

“My thoughts and prayers are with every family affected by this disaster as well as every firefighter and first responder working tirelessly to keep us safe. Not only has Porter Ranch been fully evacuated, but many of the first responders fighting on the front lines live throughout our community in the Simi, Santa Clarita, and Antelope Valleys. This tragedy displays our community’s ability to come together to keep each other safe in times of dire need,” Hill said. “I will do everything in my power to ensure we have the federal support we need for our community. My team and I will continue to monitor the progress of the fire, and will work to keep our constituents informed with updates and resources.”
