One Altadena couple has found a welcome bright spot amid devastating recent loss. Stephanie Raynor and Brian McShea lost their Altadena bungalow in the Eaton Fire that ravaged the Southern California foothills community earlier this month,

Brian McShea and Stephanie Raynor rummaged through the debris of where their Altadena home once stood to see what they could salvage from the destructive Eaton Fire. While Raynor looked for any items that survived the fire, McShea was looking for a specific item he hoped was still intact.

After sifting through debris and miraculously finding the ring, Brian McShea popped the question. She said 'yes.'

Bridgette Bradley has three children, the youngest of whom has cerebral palsy. The fire destroyed a chair specifically designed for his special needs.

Altadena’s artist community is determined to rise from the ashes after losing studios and galleries to the Eaton Fire, in addition to homes.
