Help Us Create Eaton Fire Restoration Watch Stations
We are ready to launch Eaton Fire Restoration Watch Stations in Southern California, but we need your help to make them happen.
These stations can only be installed in communities that welcome them.
That’s why we’re inviting residents, local groups, and supporters to help identify the right places and build the partnerships needed to bring this vision to life.

You can help by:
1. Suggesting a Suitable Location
Know a burned yard, community space, roadside overlook, school property, or safe public area affected by a recent fire? Share it with us.
The best Watch Stations are visible, accessible, and supported by neighbors.
2. Sharing the Vision Locally
Tell your neighborhood council, Fire Safe Council, HOA, or local nonprofit about the idea.
Once people understand the benefits--education, safety, science, and hope--they will be eager to support it.
3. Talking With Residents and Neighbors
Community support comes first. If you live near a recent burn scar, you can help start the conversation with neighbors who might be open to hosting a station.
4. Helping Us Contact Local Officials
Permits or approvals may be needed depending on the location. We’ll work with you to reach out to the right people in Public Works, Parks, Fire Safe Councils, or land management agencies.
5. Becoming a Local Steward
Every Watch Station benefits from a nearby champion -- someone who can check on the site occasionally and help coordinate volunteers or planting events.

Why Your Help Matters
We can design the tools, create the signage, and build the platform (through Chronolog).
But only the community can help identify places where these stations are wanted, respected, and welcomed.
With your help, we can create the first generation of public, citizen-driven Watch Stations -- places where people can safely witness recovery and share that record with the rest of the world, where agencies can learn, and where burned landscapes become sites of healing.

Ready to Get Involved?
Share a location, ask a question, or volunteer to help start a Watch Station in your community.
Together, we can build the first Post-Fire Restoration Watch Stations and help communities document the return of life-- one photo at a time.
