Pasadena, United States - January 13, 2025 [Note: no sound] The historic Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, typically home to legendary football games, has been transformed into a makeshift refuge as deadly wildfires continue to ravage the Los Angeles area. On January 13, drone footage captured a striking contrast to the iconic venue's usual bustling events. The parking lot, once filled with football fans, now serves as a camp for displaced families, first responders, and emergency relief efforts following the Easton Canyon wildfire. While the stadium itself remains untouched, the surrounding area has become a vital hub for those fleeing the raging flames. The Eaton Fire, now California's second most destructive blaze, has claimed at least 16 lives and destroyed over 12,000 structures. Despite the devastation, the Rose Bowl has turned into a lifeline, housing tents, RVs, food trucks, and donations as the community rallies together to provide aid. Evacuations continue in the northeast areas of Los Angeles County, with emergency responders working tirelessly to combat the fire. The Rose Bowl, once the stage for college football’s biggest event, now stands as a symbol of resilience in the face of one of California’s worst wildfire seasons.
