US EditionVigil Mourns Lives Lost in Eaton Fire, Urges Equity for Community During Recovery
ALTADENA, CALIFORNIA, JUL 7 – Survivors face displacement over 100 days due to lead contamination and seek insurance accountability after losing 18 neighbors in the Eaton fire, advocates say.
- On July 7, 2025, California Gov. Gavin Newsom joined local officials at Pasadena City College to mark half a year since the Eaton and Palisades fires.
- The fires burned 37,469 acres, killed 30 people, destroyed 12,048 homes, and were fueled by drought and rare 80 mph winds that overwhelmed firefighting efforts.
- Officials reported debris removal is 96% complete, issued 85 building permits, and plan to expedite rebuilding while ensuring new construction follows updated fire codes.
- Newsom said, “It’s not what happens to us but how we respond,” while community coalitions seek equitable recovery and most homeowners intend to rebuild despite concerns about delays.
- The event stressed ongoing remediation and insurance challenges, with leaders urging continued federal aid, including a $40 billion request to support recovery and rebuilding.
