(Credit: Kyle Grillot/Bloomberg)As multiple fires were burning in Los Angeles County Wednesday several credit unions closed some of their branches, while others that remained opened reported their operations were being affected by intermittent power outages, evacuations, and other emergency disruptions that were causing a high volume of calls and longer than usual wait times at member contact centers.
“Due to the ongoing wildfire and severe weather condition in the Los Angeles area, we have made the decision to close the Los Angeles branch for the remainder of Wednesday, January 8, to ensure the safety of our employees and our members,” the $2.1 billion Firefighters Federal Credit Union in Pasadena, posted on its website.
