()  As Los Angeles County firefighters continue to battle deadly wildfires being whipped up by high winds, victims of the fires are receiving assistance as they cope with losing their homes.

Thousands of families have been displaced by the wildfires, which have claimed at least 25 lives. In the wake of the tragedy, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has opened two disaster relief centers designed to assist those affected by the wildfires.

Lines of vehicles stretching more than a mile visited the pop-up center, which provides food, water and other necessities to displaced residents. The wait to collect items was at least 90 minutes Wednesday.

In addition to the two FEMA centers, other donation sites were established by local not-for-profit organizations that offered goods to victims.

Los Angeles County residents have also contributed to the donations, which also include diapers and baby formula. At least 26,000 people have applied for federal disaster relief assistance as they cope with losing their home and other belongings.

“You don’t know until you lose everything or whatever happens to you … you’re never prepared for anything,” Camille Epps, who lost her home in the Eaton Fire, told .

The Dream Center, one of the pop-up relief sites that was established by a faith-based organization, is also offering temporary housing solutions.
