Eaton, Palisades fires continue burning as new threat to Brentwood, Mandeville Canyon emerges

When the fast-moving Eaton Fire swept through Altadena, California Kevin Jordan lost everything, including his treasured pet.

KABC reporter Leanne Suter spoke with Jordan at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, which has been turned into an aid center for fire victims.

The Altadena resident explained that he went to sleep and was later woken up by family members and neighbors telling him, "Get out, get out of the house!"

A man who lost his cat, his home, and so much more described his experience surviving the Eaton Fire.

Jordan said he could see the fire right outside his window.

"[I] could have been the first one gone," he said.

Jordan became emotional when discussing the deep losses he sustained in the fire.

"I lost everything," he said. "I lost all the money I saved up, lost my cat, lost my uncle's ashes, that was everything."

The death toll in connection with wildfires burning in Los Angeles County has risen to 16 as of Saturday afternoon, according to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner.

11 deaths are related to the Eaton Fire, five others to the Palisades Fire.

The department said all cases are currently pending identification and legal next of kin notification.

Once that happens, the information will be posted on its website.

Officials said identification could take several weeks since staff isn't able to respond to all death locations due to the fire conditions and safety concerns.
