The Times is building a community page for friends, family and fellow Angelenos to remember what we lost in the Eaton and Palisades fires.
The fires ravaged communities and killed at least two dozen people. People lost homes. Cultural landmarks were destroyed. Livelihoods were upended. If you are in a safe area and would like to share a memory about things you lost in the fires, please fill out the form below.
The Times will use your stories and photos of what was lost in a visual collection of memories to publish at a later date.
Altadena and Pacific Palisades are home to vibrant, tight-knit communities. In the first days after the fires began, the outpouring of mutual aid and commitments to rebuild prove that the souls of these communities aren’t going anywhere. We want to amplify the voices and stories that make these neighborhoods and honor these experiences.
We understand that some may not have the words to describe the impact of the wildfires yet, and that processing and healing is ever evolving and will take time. Here at The Times, we intend to honor each person’s unique feeling and experience in the face of this tragedy and provide this space for reflection, storytelling, and the ongoing journey towards recovery.
Submissions will be open for several weeks. We may not be able to respond and publish all submissions, but we read every one. Multiple submissions are welcome. This community page is a space for you, if you desire it, whenever you desire it.
It will be here.
