VIDEO: As we approach the one-year anniversary of the Eaton Fire this week, the Altadena community came together on Sunday to honor the resilience of its residents. Thousands of runners and walkers paced the Altadena Forever Run, raising money for fire victims.
It’s been almost one year since the streets of Altadena were ravaged by flames. That scenario had thousands running for their lives, but on Sunday, they were running for hope.
The Eaton Fire broke out on Jan. 7, 2025, and destroyed 9,400 structures, damaged 1,000 others and left at least 19 people dead. Most properties have been cleared, and while many lots are currently for sale, many people are choosing to rebuild.
“I have more inspiration, and it’s actually very interesting to see this whole thing,” said Irina Voloshina, who lost her home in Altadena.
