The Eaton fire, which ignited the same day as the Palisades fire, displaced 6,900 households from Altadena and nearby communities. Los Angeles County has opened one-stop permitting centers for fire victims and waived discretionary hearings and other zoning reviews for those who want to build new houses that are roughly the same size as their burned homes.
Early December marked the first certificate of occupancy for a fully rebuilt home, a significant milestone in the road to recovery from the devastation of the Eaton fire.
Times photographers have documented the rebuilding process, tracking it from January through December at a few of the sites in Altadena that were devastated by the fires. You can interact with the images by clicking through the months to see the state of the cleanup and rebuilding process.
