Los Angeles homeowners begin to rebuild after devastating wildfires

  • On January 7, 2025, wildfires in the Los Angeles area destroyed more than 17,000 homes, including many historic Janes Cottages in Altadena and properties in Pacific Palisades.
  • The fires caused severe damage, leaving debris-covered lots and complicated rebuilding due to toxins and complex permit processes, while some homeowners question if returning is safe or affordable.
  • Residents like Tim Vordtriede, who lost his 100-year-old three-bedroom home, and Kathryn Frazier, whose four-bedroom house burned, have resolved to rebuild but face long delays and challenging approvals.
  • Vordtriede co-founded Altadena Collective to assist about two dozen clients with home designs and permit navigation, while Frazier aims to start building by mid-2025 and hopes to return by early 2026 despite rising costs.
  • Though some reconstruction has begun, residents anticipate multi-year rebuilding timelines amid uncertainty about neighborhood recovery and housing affordability after this extensive wildfire destruction.
