We feel forgotten : Malden and Pine City leaders plead for President Trump s disaster aid
The towns have not received aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency that would let them rebuild their community. Author: Morgan Trau (KREM) Updated: 9:42 AM PST December 14, 2020
MALDEN, Wash. The towns of Malden and Pine City were destroyed during the Labor Day Wildfires in September, but it looks as though it happened yesterday.
Both towns look exactly same. Residents haven t been able to clean up or rebuild. More than 85% of all the buildings, including homes, burned to the ground. It s like bombs went off in every single home and when the home burns, it really burns, Pine Creek Community Restoration Long Term Recovery Organization Director Scott Hokonson said. It s definitely hard, we feel forgotten.
