Agoura Hills Restaurant Feeds 1,000 First Responders Despite Fire Evacuation | Eater LA

"An Agoura Hills restaurateur, Marco Gonzalez, stayed behind evacuation lines during the Woolsey Fire to keep feeding first responders, working with a small crew since the evacuation began to produce hot, free meals for firefighters and paramedics. He secured permission from local authorities to remain on Roadside Drive and initially relied on whatever supplies were on hand until he could venture out to restock. By one account the operation served over 1,000 responders in a few days, and the team documented a dining room full of exhausted but grateful crews on social media. A Venmo fundraising page to sustain the effort has nearly reached $50,000, and the effort has been echoed by many other local eateries donating food, supplies, and proceeds." - Farley Elliott
