-- The Eaton and Palisades wildfires in Los Angeles are already the most devastating fires in recent memory, both in terms of structures burned and sheer financial impact. Now, one Eaton Canyon-area restaurant is stepping up to offer their assistance to the thousands of firefighters who are currently battling the blaze, as per a recent announcement.

El Matador, an authentic Mexican restaurant located only a few miles from the origin of the Eaton blaze, is inviting anyone interested in providing material aid to the firefighters to donate through their website. They will be providing free meals and drinks to local firefighters, funded entirely through this donation drive.
As NBC News reported in the initial stages of the fires, the community response to the Eaton and Palisades fires has been immense. In their reporting, they interviewed experts who suggested that the best way to contribute to the disaster relief effort was to donate to specific organizations, such as El Matador, who are on the ground offering their assistance directly to those in need.
El Matador is accepting donations in 30, 60, and 100 dollar increments, which will provide 1, 3, and 5 meals to the Eaton Canyon fire department, respectively. Donations will pay for a full meal including entree and sides, including a drink, all in the interest of supporting the ongoing efforts of the firefighters holding the blaze only a few blocks from the restaurant itself.
Under normal circumstances, El Matador serves a full menu of traditional Mexican cuisine, including chicken, beef, pork, and fish dishes. Popular options include their selection of wet burritos, their specialty taco offerings, and their soups—which are available Monday through Friday only.
For now, however, those interested in donating are encouraged to do so exclusively online due to the imminent danger imposed by the fire. This is an evolving situation, and those in the immediate area should defer to government guidance regarding evacuation orders and safety status, especially in the face of the recent strong winds.
The El Matador firefighter relief funding drive can be found at the link below. Donations are accepted through online payment systems and credit cards only.
