Deputy Martinez has been with the LA County Sheriff’s Department for nine years.
On Jan. 8, 2025, Carson Station Deputies Martinez and partner Alkonis responded to Altadena to assist with evacuation efforts for the Eaton Fire. During their mission, they rescued a 100-year-old woman from a senior living center that had been left alone. The elderly living center where the woman resided was one of thousands of places that was put under an urgent evacuation order as the situation continued to develop, which led LASD to dispatch deputies to the area in search of people who needed help leaving.
The deputies immediately prioritized her safety, guiding her carefully out of the building and away from harm.
Their actions were a testament to their dedication, proving their resolve to serve remains unshakable even in unfamiliar and dangerous situations.
