The banner was installed today by Los Angeles County Public Works on Lake Avenue, between Morada Place and Alameda Street. Its display serves as both a tribute to those impacted by the wildfire and a visible sign of the community’s determination to move forward together.
“I am incredibly pleased and proud to see our community continue to rise together in the wake of the Eaton Fire,” said Supervisor Kathryn Barger. “This banner is a reflection of the strength and creativity that define this community. It’s a reminder that even in the hardest moments, hope and unity shine through.”
The banner was designed by a local teenager who lost his home in the fire, transforming personal loss into a message of hope for the entire community. Its placement on Lake Avenue serves as both a tribute to those impacted by the wildfire and a visible sign of the community’s determination to move forward together.
