The home on Santa Anita Avenue has been “yellow tagged” and has been moderately damaged to the degree that its habitability is very limited. Very little visible exterior damage other than the front door smoke, a few broken windows and roof damage are visible to the naked eye. | Photo by Terry Miller / Beacon Media News
