During the Eaton Fire, my friend called to say that our houses were still standing. I thought, 'I'm going to fight this. We're going to fight this. We're going to keep our houses.' 'I'm going with you,' my brother-in-law told me. We needed supplies. He went to a Target store. I went to a different store. We got 30 fire extinguishers and carried them up the hill. We met up with another friend of mine. All of us piled into my truck and drove up to Altadena. We were able to get through. As soon as we pulled in the driveway, we saw fires everywhere. We spent the whole evening walking around our neighborhood putting out small fires, flare-ups, embers, and anything else we thought we could safely put out. We thought only a few houses would be left standing, but now we know ... 10 homes were saved that night in our little section.
