As she sifted through the wreckage, she found her melted engagement ring, but she assumed her wedding band had been lost to the flames as well. ????? ???????  

"As long as I got my daughter and my dog safely in the car and away from this disaster," she explained. "And we saw embers flying through the air. We saw patches of grass on the street on fire, a house on fire. We were like, 'This is not good. This is definitely not good.'" ????????????  

Her husband and son were out of town, so she fled with her daughter and dog, leaving behind her wedding and engagement rings. In the chaos, she said nothing else mattered. ?????  

Deciding she didn't want to search for them in the dark, she left them by the front door next to her keys. At 3:45 a.m., the alarms went off, and she had to evacuate. ????? ???????

DeSantis had just seconds to evacuate her Altadena home when the Eaton Fire broke out last week. With dry conditions worsened by strong winds at the time, she said she had been applying lotion constantly, causing her rings to slip off. ????????????
