@cbsnews: “[It’s] the end of a life story here. … It’s like a funeral.” For Pacific Palisades resident Maria Demina, who is originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, losing her family’s home in the Palisades Fire “feels like remnants of the Second World War.” Her family returned to the site of their home after the fire swept through to survey the damage, finding it completely destroyed. Now, she said, they wanted “to say thank you to our house for being good to us” — and brought a bouquet of roses to lay among the ashes as they set off to rebuild after the disaster. #pacificpalisades #palisades #palisadesfire #wildfire #losangeles #la #fire #california #socal
