  • California wildfires in my neighborhood. Ben Davis
    Jan 24 2025

    Ben Davis, an Emory & Henry graduate, who lives in Santa Monica, California, shares his experience living through the wildfires that burned tens of thousands of acres in January 2025. With evacuation notices for his neighbors four blocks away, Ben and others in his apartment building evacuated as well. When they looked outside, the view was a wall of inferno nearby in the Palisades area.

    We hear about families who lost homes, the smoky air, efforts to find a hotel room, and the challenges that make some question whether they should stay in southern California or move away. For Ben Davis, it's not a question. He loves his life on the west coast and doesn't intend to go anywhere. He also revisits his time and study at Emory & Henry, calling the decision to go there the best one of his life. Always good to hear. Thanks, Ben.
