Fires in Los Angeles: “The fires not only destroyed buildings, but also an entire collective memory”

Fires in Los Angeles The fires not only destroyed buildings

In Los Angeles, the fires are gradually beginning to be brought under control. But for the victims, getting back on track with their lives is a challenge. This is particularly true in the Altadena district, located on the heights of the city, ravaged by the “Eaton Fire”. Unlike Pacific Palisades, Altadena is a modest neighborhood, but full of history. It was the first historic African-American neighborhood in Los Angeles. Our special correspondent in Los Angeles, Achim Lippold, met Fred Daniels, an African-American, who was born in this neighborhood and whose family home was completely destroyed.
