In this episode, we meet Erion and Stephon Taylor, who lost everything when the Eaton Fire tore through Altadena. With just minutes to escape, they fled with their three children and Erion’s 75-year-old mother-in-law. When they returned, only a single Dutch oven—still sealed from the night before—remained. Now, as developers circle and pressure builds, families like the Taylors are standing their ground, sending a powerful message: Altadena is not for sale.
