Who We Are

PostFire is a not-for-profit organization founded by Eaton Fire survivors

We are not affiliated with any brand, governmental entity, religion, or for-profit endeavor.

Our aim is to support survivors by presenting clear, credible information, ensuring survivors are connected to each other and are getting the resources they need.

PostFire is open to fire survivors from all parts of Los Angeles.

PostFire has a strong focus on ensuring that this disaster doesn’t cut along race and class lines as so many have before.

Each individual should be aware that neither “PostFire” nor any of its representatives guarantee or warrant any specific projected result of involvement with PostFire. Accordingly, survivors should retain and rely upon the advice of their own professional advisors with respect to their specific individual tax, financial, legal, real estate or other matters as PostFire nor any of its representatives is an expert in any financial, legal, accounting, building or real estate matters and are merely volunteering to aid survivors.
