Almost four months after Margot Stueber's Altadena home of 18 years burned down in the Eaton fire, construction workers broke ground on her new home, a milestone in the area where many property owners and leaders are pushing hard to get rebuilding. On Monday, April 28, Stueber cut a red ribbon while standing where her home used to be before the catastrophic Jan. 7 fire tore through the town. The ash and debris from her home has since been cleared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
