LA Times: Western Altadena got evacuation order hours after Eaton fire exploded. 17 people died there https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-01-20/in-much-of-altadena-evacuation-orders-came-hours-after-the-fire-arrived #EatonFire
All of the 17 deaths confirmed so far in the Eaton fire occurred in areas of western Altadena that received emergency evacuation orders many hours after the fire started. The fire roared out of Eaton Canyon around 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 7, pushed west by intense Santa Ana winds. Many neighborhoods in eastern Altadena and surrounding areas got evacuation warnings and orders that Tuesday night. But records reviewed by The Times show that Altadena neighborhoods west of North Lake Avenue did not get electronic evacuation orders until 3:25 a.m. and never received evacuation warnings. By then, burning embers were raining down on neighborhoods on the west side of Altadena and igniting homes.
