() An 81-year-old Pacific Palisades resident said he will have to rebuild his life after raging wildfires devoured his home. 

“It’s a high-stress situation, but I’m prepared to do it. I have no choice,” Allan Goldsmith told . 

Goldsmith said he and his wife evacuated from their home amid chaos and confusion, and he still does not know the status of their home. 

“The thing that’s really discouraging right now to me is that I have no way of finding out what happened to my house there’s no database no website, no service. … It’s a big blank.” 

Multiple wildfires are ripping through parts of Los Angeles County, all at 0% containment as of Wednesday morning.

Two people were reported dead in the Eaton Fire, which is in the Angeles National Forest and Altadena area of Los Angeles County and Pasadena, Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone said.

Officials said more than 80,000 people are under evacuation orders.

Goldsmith said this tragedy has exposed holes left by municipal services, as many residents have received minimal information on what they should be doing next.

During his evacuation, Goldsmith recalled helping a disabled neighbor abandoned by his medical caretakers. After taking the neighbor to a nearby hospital, Goldsmith said he had to find his wife amid a complete mess.

There was no real exit strategy or plan, he said, so everyone left at the same time, causing a “logjam.”

“People couldn’t get out, so they just drove in the wrong direction, and then they just abandoned their cars,” he said. 

Goldsmith said he and his wife are safe but that the community will never be the same.
