Our Community - Fire Resources

As we assess the impact of the recent wildfires and more specifically the devastation of Altadena, we are completely shattered. The amount of loss and pain is overwhelming and leaves us heartbroken.

At the same time, we are seeing an outpouring of love and support from the amazing Pasadena/Altadena community as they come together to support those in need. We are in awe of their selflessness and desire to help in any way.  Old Pasadena Management is committed to amplifying these efforts and sharing relevant information so that our extended community and all those affected can begin to recover.  Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/oldpasadena and sign up for our newsletter. 

We are in deep gratitude to our immediate Old Pasadena community for demonstrating so much grace and compassion in this tragedy.  We are also indebted to all of the first responders who are fighting to protect lives and property while risking their own. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
