The fire has burned about 2,227 acres of brush in the Eaton Canyon area above Altadena, according to Los Angeles County firefighters.

An Altadena man who lost everything to the Eaton Fire said he’s grateful to be alive after he and his loved ones escaped from the unforgiving brush fire.

The Eaton Fire has burned more than 10,000 acres in northeast Los Angeles County, forcing about 33,000 residents to flee. It has torched homes and burned houses of worship in the communities of Altadena and Pasadena and is responsible for multiple deaths.
