Rebuilding Our Community: Orange Aluminum Partners with Watch Duty

The Palisades and Eaton fires left a devastating impact on our community, burning large portions of Los Angeles County and displacing families, businesses, and wildlife. As a company rooted in this region, Orange Aluminum is stepping up to support recovery and future resilience. For our Q1 charity initiative, we are proud to partner with Watch Duty, a nonprofit dedicated to providing real-time wildfire alerts and disaster response.

These fires directly affected our community—the neighborhoods we live in, the places we work, and the people we care about. Wildfires aren’t just an occasional threat; they’re an ever-growing danger, and access to timely, accurate information can make all the difference when disaster strikes.

Why Watch Duty?

Watch Duty, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, plays a critical role in wildfire preparedness by offering real-time alerts that help protect lives and property. Fires can escalate in minutes, and having immediate, reliable updates allow residents to act quickly. Our Territory Manager, Lana Howell, spearheaded this initiative after witnessing the fires' devastation firsthand, recognizing the urgent need for stronger, more widespread wildfire alert systems.

"As a company based in Los Angeles, we understand firsthand the devastating impact wildfires have on our region. Supporting Watch Duty aligns with our mission to rebuild and protect our community, ensuring that people have access to life-saving information when they need it most." – Lana Howell, Territory Manager
