One Altadena couple has found a welcome bright spot amid devastating recent loss. Stephanie Raynor and Brian McShea lost their Altadena bungalow in the Eaton Fire that ravaged the Southern California foothills community earlier this month,

An Altadena couple that lost everything to the Eaton Fire in early January found one bit of happiness amidst the rubble of their burned home last week.

Brian McShea had already bought an engagement ring, planning to propose to his girlfriend Stephanie Raynor. McShea was afraid the ring had been destroyed by the fire, but as they were going through the rubble, he found it in a charred desk drawer. Shortly afterward, he got down on one knee and proposed, which she accepted.

Brian McShea thought he lost the engagement ring he bought for his girlfriend when their Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton Fire. When he miraculously found it in the rubble, he immediately got down on one knee and proposed on the spot!

"I was thinking, 'Well, maybe the stone can survive and maybe we'll find the little stone,' " Brian McShea recalled

Brian McShea got down on one knee after discovering that the gem stone had survived the raging inferno, which ripped through the couple's home in Altadena, Los Angeles.

A true diamond in the rubble. A California man shocked his girlfriend when he proposed to her on the spot after he found the engagement ring he thought he lost in the Los Angeles wildfires along with everything else he owned.
