The LAFD Foundation provides much-needed food, basic necessities and additional community services to local residents, as well as important resources for firefighters. Additionally, First American employees have rallied to collectively donate more than $20,000 to the American Red Cross via an employee fundraising drive.

“As a company that has called Southern California and the greater Los Angeles area home for more than 135 years, we’re grateful for the heroic efforts of firefighters to combat the wildfires and honored to help support them as they protect our communities, friends and families,” said Ken DeGiorgio, CEO of First American. “Stepping up for our neighbors in challenging times reflects our commitment to the communities we serve and call home.”

First American has also launched an initiative to provide wildfire victims with free access to property deeds that may have been lost to the wildfires. The company is building an online portal to provide victims with access to these important documents, which can take weeks to acquire from the county recorder’s office. Wildfire victims that submit their email address at https://owner.firstam.com/socal-wildfires(opens in a new tab/window) will receive an alert when the portal is ready later this month.
