Metallica is doing their part to help with fire relief efforts in the band’s hometown of Los Angeles after the city was decimated by wildfires. The heavy metal legend’s philanthropic foundation, All Within My Hands, announced on Monday (January 13) that they are “granting $500,000 to relief efforts carried out by the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund and the Pasadena Community Foundation’s Eaton Canyon Fire Relief and Recovery Fund,” according to their press release.

“The fires raging in the Los Angeles area have relentlessly wreaked havoc and widespread destruction since January 7 and, sadly, do not show signs of slowing down,” reads the statement from All Within My Hands. “In the past week, the community has suffered at least 24 lives lost, nearly 100,000 people under evacuation orders, 40,000 acres burned, and more than 12,000 structures—commercial and residential—destroyed.” Metallica’s foundation also included links for fans to join them in their relief efforts by donating to CCF and PCF.
