ALTADENA, Calif. (KABC) -- Progress continues in the effort to rebuild Altadena after January's destructive Eaton Fire.

On Monday, demolition began at the Eliot Arts Magnet Academy in Altadena, which was damaged in the wildfire.

Since the fire, students were relocated to McKinley School in Pasadena, but they're eager to return to their own campus.

Crews plan to begin demolishing the damaged portions of Eliot Arts Magnet Academy on Monday.

Then, the auditorium and the north wing of the campus will be rebuilt.



It's unclear when the project will be finished and when students will return to the campus.
