The Woolsey Fire broke out one year ago … this afternoon.
It was not the first major fire to hit Malibu … there were huge fires in 1956 … 1978 … 1982 … 1993 … 1996 … 2007.
Woolsey was by far the biggest.
Three dead in the flames … at least that many dead in the months afterward … attributable to the fire.
480 structures in western Malibu burned.
A community’s trust in the fire department shattered.
The sheriff’s department … hated.
And kids … traumatized.
Malibu High principal Patrick Miller says this:
One of the things we will be reminding our students is that community is built on the words and actions of the individuals in that community. Through this tragedy, we have seen first hand what community really is and we will encourage students to continue to look for ways to reach out, lend a hand, provide support, display kindness, be inclusive,
We will remind our students that it is ok to not be ok.
It’s ok to have bad days and need time and space to work through what we have gone through.
The words of Malibu High principal Patrick Miller.
A community gathering will happen tomorrow at Zuma Beach.
For some … going to that would be a bitter reminder of gvoernemnt’s failure.
In the words of the school principal … it’s OK not to be OK.
