Altadena, Calif. resident Jordan Mitchell remembers the last thing his father Anthony told him before he and Jordan’s older brother Justin perished in the Eaton Fire.

Jordan told KCAL News on Wednesday, Jan. 15, that his dad, a 67-year-old amputee, was home with Justin, who has cerebral palsy, when the wildfire engulfed their house on Jan. 8. Anthony and Justin both used wheelchairs and were unable to escape.

“No one deserves that, especially not my dad and brother,” Jordan told the outlet.

“Best way I can describe my dad was funny and stubborn, but he loved us immensely,” he added of his late father. “Like, he woulda did anything for us.”

“My brother Justin was the happiest boy you ever met in your life,” Jordan added of his older brother.

Jordan said he was normally home to care for his loved ones, but on that particular day, he was sick in the hospital.

“That’s my worst nightmare — that I wouldn’t be home, I wouldn’t be around them, and something would happen and someone [gets] hurt,” Jordan said.

Jordan told KCAL that his father Anthony called 9-1-1 when the Eaton Fire started, asking if first responders could help the two wheelchair-bound men evacuate. Unfortunately, help did not come.

“His last words were ‘Help us,’ ” Jordan recalled. “He was trying to get him and my brother out of here.”

One of Jordan’s sisters, Hajime White, recalled listening helplessly to one of her father’s final phone calls from Arkansas in an interview with PEOPLE.

“He said, ‘Baby, I’m just letting you know that the fires broke out and that we’re going to have to evacuate,’ ” she told PEOPLE. “I was like, ‘Okay.’ He told me he loved me and started to say something else but he said, ‘Baby, I got to go. The fire just came in the yard.'”

Unsure of any details after that, White said she received a phone call two hours later saying both her father and her brother had died.

“I lost it. I just started screaming,” White said.

The wildfires began in the Pacific Palisades on Jan. 7 after a lack of rain in the Los Angeles area, leading to dry vegetation, created the perfect situation for blazes to start. Severe winds fanned the flames, as multiple fires broke out throughout the city.
