Los Angeles Wildfires
Los Angeles Wildfires, January 2025
In January, Los Angeles faced catastrophic wildfires, with the Palisades and Eaton fires being among the most destructive in the city's history. Homes, businesses, landmarks and entire communities have been devastated. Our thoughts remain with those affected and with the brave firefighters and first responders who worked tirelessly during this crisis.
The latest: According to Visit California, 98 percent of Los Angeles remains unaffected by wildfires.
