California couple watched Eaton Fire destroy their home on Ring camera: ‘40 years of life gone overnight’

A California couple watched the Eaton Fire destroy their beloved home of 40 years “in the blink of an eye” through a doorbell camera as they fled with just a few cherished items and their dogs.

The Altadena home where Walter and Yalda Seace built their lives was reduced to a pile of debris when the deadly fire tore through their neighborhood Tuesday.

“It’s overwhelming. I don’t know how we’re going to get through it…We will it’s just going to be a long process,” Yalda Seace told KABC.

Footage from a camera overlooking their driveway captured the blaze jump to their home as the intense winds blew smoke into the camera’s view.

The couple only grabbed priceless family photos and their two dogs when they evacuated ahead of the raging inferno, Yalda’s sister Nicki Griswald wrote on a GoFundMe for the couple.

“This unimaginable loss has left them starting from scratch,” Griswald said.

They believed the home would survive when they watched the live footage, but were heartbroken when they found the house in ruins.

“We’re gonna go off and it’s going to be OK. We’re going to get back. It’ll be fine,” Yalda Seace said. “Unfortunately, there are so many other people in the same situation it’s devastating actually.”

The Seaces sifted through the rubble looking for any belongings that survived the blaze.

“Here we are with nothing, 40 years of life gone overnight. It’s unfathomable,” Walter Seace added.

Yalda Seace took to social media early Friday morning and shared a touching tribute to her home along with photos of her family inside the house.

“I am beyond grateful for the countless memories we’ve created within the walls of our home over the years. It’s incredible how much love and life a space can hold, and you never truly realize it until it’s gone,” she wrote on Instagram.

The fitness coach believes her family can overcome the “incredibly challenging time” and rebuild stronger.

She also acknowledged her fellow Californians who fell victim to the wildfires.

“My heart goes out to our community and to everyone who has lost their homes. I am keeping all of you in my prayers.”

Yalda has no plans of moving after losing her home as she loves living in the Southern California community.

“This is home. I’ve always wanted to live in Altadena. This is home, I will rebuild. I’ll find a way,” she told the outlet.

The Eaton Fire has burned 13,690 acres as of early Friday. Firefighters have yet to contain the blaze.

At least five people were killed in the Pasadena – Altadena blaze.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner revealed Thursday there have been at least 10 fire-related deaths reported to the office as the county has been decimated by several wildfires since Tuesday.
