Aerial View of Damage in California's Altadena as Eaton Fire Mostly Contained | News9

Описание: Aerial footage taken from a helicopter flight over fire-damaged areas on Wednesday (January 22) showed the extent of damage and devastation in the city of Altadena, California, which bore the brunt of the Eaton Fire.

From the air, the once-thriving neighbourhoods wiped out by recent wildfires now appear as block after block of ash and rubble. Sunlight reflects off the skeletal remains of homes, restaurants and shops.

Some stone chimneys and trees stood defiantly tall in Altadena. On one street a white picket fence was left unscathed from the inferno, its gate swung open, but the house a few steps away had been burnt to the ground. Another area showed about a dozen homes intact while others around it had been torched.

Several backyard swimming pools, burnt-out cars and twisted metal from homes were visible from the sky.

As of Wednesday, the Eaton Fire was 91% contained and the Palisades Fire to west was 68% contained.

Since the two fires broke out on Jan. 7, they have burned an area nearly the size of Washington, D.C., killed 28 people and damaged or destroyed nearly 16,000 structures, Cal Fire said.
