Olight Supports Los Angeles Fire Relief with Emergency Flashlights
In the wake of multiple devastating wildfires that have ravaged the Los Angeles region, Olight, the global leader in portable lighting, has stepped up with swift action to support local relief efforts. As of January 14 local time, the Los Angeles fires have burned more than 40,000 acres, destroyed more than 12,000 structures, caused at least 24 deaths and millions of households are currently without power, according to official U.S. media reports.

This swift action highlights Olight’s commitment to social responsibility and their mission to illuminate the world.

These products included outdoor camping lanterns, headlamps, and multi-functional flashlights. They were chosen for their reliability and versatility, carefully selected to adapt to various rescue environments, ensuring that both rescue teams and displaced residents had access to dependable lighting during this challenging time.
The Olight team arrived in Los Angeles around 12:00 PM PST on January 12th, joining forces with O-Fans and partnering with professional rescue organizations to deliver essential lighting equipment to local rescue teams and affected families. Some O-Fans tragically lost their homes in the fires, and Olight team rushed to offer support, providing comfort and assistance in every possible way.

Olight’s Chief Marketing Officer, Mavis, led the team in donating products to local Chinese Chamber organizations to assist residents in need. The Los Angeles Fire Department also received the donation and expressed heartfelt gratitude for Olight’s contributions, emphasizing the critical role the donated flashlights played in their firefighting and recovery efforts.

“I previously worked in emergency rescue, so I deeply know the importance of flashlights during disasters,” said Sam Foster, Olight’s Canada Market Manager. “I trained the police officer to use our flashlights, hoping they would enhance their rescue missions.”

The Olight team also visited a temporary tent area that served as a shelter. Some tents sheltered disaster victims, while others served as rest areas for military and police officers involved in the relief efforts. The team showed the proper use of headlamps, flashlights, and camping lanterns. Those flashlights will enable responders to operate effectively in poorly lit areas, while will also help affected families by creating safer and more comfortable temporary living conditions.

Others went to the firefighting aircraft apron, where staff were replenishing the aircraft with fire retardants. Olight flashlights assisted them in inspecting the aircraft maintenance environment.

Together with our fans, we put our commitment into action and illuminate the world."
Olight will continue to stay updated on the evolving situation of the Los Angeles wildfires closely and remains committed to providing further support as needed.
