Judas Priest donated US$100,000 (approximately R$540,000 at the current exchange rate) to the Fire Department last Sunday, the 19th, before their show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
The contribution is intended to help people who suffered damage due to the recent wildfires in Los Angeles County. The event killed 12 people and destroyed a large part of the Pacific Palisades community.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the Los Angeles Fire Department needs improvements, as well as enhanced training on wildfires.
Judas Priest continues their tour with Alice Cooper , visiting 22 cities. The tour began on September 16th at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi, and ends on October 26th in Texas, with stops in Toronto, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and more.
