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."
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe has been set up to help Jordan.
