ALTADENA, Calif. — Spectrum News first met Pasadena Firefighter engineer Chien Yu in January 2025 when he shared his story about fighting the Eaton Fire while not knowing whether his home in Altadena would still be standing. At the end of his 18-hour shift on the first night of the fires, he found his home was gone, destroyed in the Eaton Fire. It’s been more than a year since the Eaton Fire broke out, and the Yu family is on the road to rebuilding.
