The Altadena resident originally from NortCal, Michael Burton, told KRCR his home is one of the few in his neighborhood that has survived the Eaton Fire.

While another Los Angeles County wildfire burned homes to the ground, the community of Altadena was also left devastated by a quickly moving blaze — one that has left at least five people dead and injured several others as it wiped out entire buildings.
