The series of devastating wildfires that broke out in Early January 2025 across parts of Los Angeles, have burned over 40,000 acres, destroying thousands of homes, businesses, and community institutions and causing at least twenty-seven deaths. The fires, fueled by bone-dry vegetation and hurricane-force winds, leveled entire neighborhoods, particularly in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas (Palisades Fire) as well as in Altadena and Pasadena (Eaton Fire). The impacts of these fires will be felt across these communities and the rest of Los Angeles County for years, if not decades, to come.
