The Eaton Fire has consumed most of Altadena , an affordable mountain town with a historic black community, where many working and middle-class families purchase their first homes.

Skinny coyotes now prowl the fence around our property, sniffing and desperate.

It's hard to not not feel helpless and overwhelmed by the scale of it all.

With little to none of the fires contained, it will be days before the air quality is breathable, longer until the ash and soot are cleaned from the playgrounds.

The winds have died down and you can almost see some blue sky behind the haze of smoke.

On our block's text thread, our neighbors with children are all debating the same thing: do we leave now for better air?.
