Rebuilding What Was Lost

This video follows the work and takes a close-up look at Anvil Builders, a Union Contractor whose workers are cleaning the sites of former homes in Altadena after the devastating wildfires in January. This episode of On the Ground in LA follows the Anvil team as they help families begin the long road to recovery, from removing hazardous materials to carefully sifting through the remnants of homes in search of keepsakes. We talk to Alan Guy, CEO of Anvil Builders, about how he prepares his crews for the work in Altadena, with special attention paid to the safety of his workers. We also talk to workers about the emotional impact of finding a cherished wedding ring or family pictures and returning them to their owners.
