Eight families on the San Pasqual Reservation in California will get keys to new homes to replace the ones they lost in last year's devastating Paradise Fire.
The keys will be presented in a ceremony next Tuesday. The event marks exactly one year from the fire.
In total, 67 of 68 homes on the reservation were destroyed. Some homes were rebuilt with insurance money, and others by donations and volunteers.
Nature, in the form of mudslides, continues to threaten the reservation. Heavy rains in the area prompted tribal crews to place sandbags around vulnerable homes.
