Los Angeles wildfires: Altadena resident stunned to find home was only one left standing on his block

A man from California, whose residence was the lone surviving one on the street in the aftermath of the Eaton Fire, shared a breathtaking video displaying the destruction around his neighborhood. He expressed his belief that he was protected by a higher power, saying “God knew what he had to do to protect me.”

Enrique Balcazar recorded the footage on Jan. 9 as he returned to see what was left of his community in Altadena. 

He described the scene, saying, “This is across the street, the corner house and the two houses in front and the entire street on my right side is decimated. From what I could see, every house is burnt down on my block, except for my house.”

While becoming emotional, he pondered, “Why do I deserve this? I don’t know. I don’t think I deserve it. But God bless everybody else with plenty of insurance to rebuild. God knew what he had to do to protect me,” showing gratitude for being spared amidst the disaster.

At one point in the video, Balcazar reveals that a portion of his garage’s roof was still smoldering. 

“The garage is even still standing. I don’t understand how this happens. This is God,” he said. 

“Alright, we are going to go ahead and put some water on that right now, make sure we put that out so it doesn’t reignite,” Blacazar added before the video ends.
