The Palisades Fire is a wildfire burning in the Santa Monica Mountains of Los Angeles County in Southern California which has killed at least 8 people. As of January 12, 2025, at 11:13 a.m. PST, the fire had spread to 23,713 acres (9,596 ha; 95.96 km2; 37.052 sq mi), destroying the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles and nearby Malibu. It is the first and largest of a series of wildfires in and around the city of Los Angeles being driven by an extreme Santa Ana wind event. On January 8, Wildfire Alliance statistics indicated that the fire is the most destructive fire in Los Angeles history, surpassing the Sayre Fire in Sylmar in 2008 which destroyed 604 structures. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.[1]

Background

[edit]
See also: January 2025 Southern California wildfires § Background

A strong high-pressure system over the Great Basin created a steep northerly pressure gradient across Southern California. The system triggered powerful Santa Ana winds, katabatic winds which are known to develop when cooler, dense inland air is funneled through mountain passes and canyons toward the warmer coastal regions.[2]

At the same time, the Southern Coast had experienced "eight months without any measurable rainfall",[3] and much of the region had fallen into moderate drought conditions.[4] The Los Angeles Times quoted a battalion chief for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) that the conditions were "the perfect recipe for a large wildfire".[3] The National Weather Service (NWS) issued red flag warnings on the morning of Monday January 6, effective through Thursday evening, for multiple regions, including the Malibu coast, Santa Monica Mountains Recreational Area, and the San Gabriel, San Fernando, and Santa Clarita valleys.

The NWS predicted a "life-threatening" windstorm and Santa Ana wind gusts were forecasted to reach speeds of 60–80 miles per hour (97–129 km/h), with some peak gusts anticipated to reach 90 mph (140 km/h) in mountainous areas.[5] Residents were urged to "use extreme caution with anything that can spark a wildfire" and those near forests to be prepared to evacuate.[3] Caltrans announced precautionary road closures, including Topanga Canyon Boulevard between Mulholland Drive and Pacific Coast Highway, due to heightened wildfire danger.[5]

CAL FIRE pre-positioned firefighting assets across Southern California as is common in red flag warnings, so that they can quickly respond in case a fire does break out.[3] The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power ensured that all three of their water tanks in the area affected by the red flag warning, which hold approximately one million gallons each, were full ahead of the wind event.[6] This is vital because water systems lose pressure when they experience sudden high demand – especially at elevation – as is the case in firefighting. Despite these efforts, 20% of fire hydrants eventually ran out of water in the more elevated parts of Pacific Palisades.[7][8]

Progression

[edit]
The fire at approximately 11:10 a.m. on January 7, as viewed from Ballona Wetlands

The fire was first reported at about 10:30 a.m. PST on January 7, 2025, covering around 10 acres (4.0 ha) of the mountains north of Pacific Palisades. It quickly spread due to a combination of severe drought in Southern California (the driest 9-month period on record), and a worsening Santa Ana wind event which created wind gusts up to 80 mph (130 km/h).[9][10] Within 20 minutes, the fire grew from 20 acres (8.1 ha) to 200 acres (81 ha). The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) said the blaze had reached more than 700 acres (280 ha) by 2:10 p.m.,[11] with over 250 firefighters fighting it as it started to reach homes. Just one hour later, an update from CAL FIRE stated that the fire had rapidly grown to 1,262 acres (511 ha).[12] Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, toured the fire on January 7, and said that many structures had been destroyed.[13] The intensification of the concurrent windstorm at night forced the grounding of firefighting aircraft, further hindering efforts to manage the wildfire's spread.[14]

At 12:29 a.m. on January 8, a CAL FIRE status report said the fire had grown to 2,921 acres (1,182 ha).[15] Hours later, 1,400 firefighters had been assigned to the fire which continued to grow as several injuries were reported, including a 25-year-old firefighter with a "serious head injury". Several beachfront properties in Malibu were destroyed by the wildfire.[16] In a Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) press conference on the morning of January 8, LACoFD fire chief Anthony Marrone said that the fire had reached a size of more than 5,000 acres (2,000 ha) and had destroyed around 1,000 structures. Robert Luna, the sheriff of Los Angeles County, said that 37,000 people were under evacuation order due to the fire, adding that 15,000 structures were at risk of burning.[12]

A CAL FIRE status report at 11:45 a.m on January 8 said the fire had grown to 11,802 acres (4,776 ha),[17] a figure which had grown to 15,832 acres (6,407 ha) by 1:20 p.m.[18] In another press conference which began at 3:15 p.m, LAFD fire chief Kristin Crowley said that 1,792 personnel have been deployed to assist in fighting the fire, adding that it was still growing and continued to demand "significant resources".[12] A CAL FIRE status report at 11:10 p.m. said the fire had grown to 17,234 acres (6,974 ha).[19] Human remains were found at a property near the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) following a welfare check conducted due to a missing persons report.[20]

An update from fire authorities on January 9 said that over 5,300 structures had been destroyed by the blaze. It had grown to almost 20,000 acres (8,100 ha; 81 km2; 31 sq mi). A man was detained on suspicion of igniting a fire in Woodland Hills, immediately north of where the fire was burning. In a press conference at 5:20 p.m., Crowley said there had been two deaths due to the fire. At 8 p.m., Newsom reported that the fire was 6% contained, after being at 0% for more than 55 hours.[12] A CAL FIRE status report at 6:45 p.m. said the fire had grown to 19,978 acres (8,085 ha).[21] A firefighting aircraft collided with a drone while it was over the fire, suffering a hole in its wing but landing safely with no casualties. At 9:15 p.m., authorities reported that the death toll from all fires had risen to ten, with the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner (DMEC) saying that the remains were still being identified.[12]

Smoke from the fire at 8:40 a.m. on January 10

On January 10, a CAL FIRE status report at 7:39 a.m. said the fire had grown to 20,438 acres (8,271 ha).[22] During an update at 8 a.m., Crowley reported that the fire was at 8% containment, with 3,073 personnel fighting it.[23] Another CAL FIRE report at 9:20 a.m. said there had been three civilian injuries and two civilian fatalities,[24] a number which increased to three by 12:08 p.m.[25] Another update at 2:33 p.m. said the fire was at 21,317 acres (8,627 ha) and was still at 8% containment,[26] while an update from the DMEC said five fire-related deaths had taken place in areas affected by the blaze, namely Malibu, Pacific Palisades and Topanga. This number was later revised to three.[23] Late on January 10, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health declared a local health emergency in response to the fires and issued a Public Health Officer Order prohibiting the use of leaf blowers to improve air quality.[27]

In a press conference at 8 a.m. on January 11, Todd Hopkins from the Unified IC CAL FIRE Incident Management Team said that the fire was at 11% containment and had grown by 1,000 acres (400 ha) overnight. He also said 105,000 people had evacuated as 426 homes were destroyed.[23] That same day, the fire began to march towards Mandeville Canyon, new evacuation orders were made for the Tarzana and Encino neighborhoods, with evacuation warnings extending to south of Ventura Boulevard in Encino and western parts of Bel Air.[28] At least one home in Mandeville Canyon has burned.[29] A CAL FIRE status report at 9:39 a.m. said the fire had grown to 22,660 acres (9,170 ha);[30] by 4:37 p.m. it had grown to 23,654 acres (9,572 ha).[31] The DMEC said that the death toll of all fires had risen to 16: five in the Palisades Fire and 11 in the Eaton Fire. Doug Stewart, the mayor of Malibu, said one third of the city had been lost, adding that homes along the Pacific Coast Highway and the Big Rock neighborhood were 'gone'.[32]

On January 12, a CAL FIRE status report at 6:33 a.m. said the fire had grown to 23,707 acres (9,594 ha).[33] At 8 a.m., city officials held a press conference, where Crowley said 4,720 personnel were assigned to the blaze; Luna said that during a search of 364 properties three dead people were found and four people had been arrested for looting.[32] At 5 p.m. the DMEC released an update stating that the death toll of all fires had risen to 24, eight of which were in the Palisades area.[34]

Evacuation

[edit]
An alert from the LAFD sent out to the mobile phones of residents of certain areas, notifying them to be ready to evacuate

In a LAFD press conference on January 7, at 3:40 p.m., fire chief Kristin Crowley said that over 30,000 people were under evacuation orders, with more than 10,000 houses and 13,000 buildings under threat. During the conference, Marqueece Harris-Dawson, the president of Los Angeles City Council and acting mayor, declared a state of emergency in response to the fire.[12]

During the hectic evacuation, some roads became impassable. As flames moved closer, people abandoned their cars and fled for their lives, some taking their keys with them; bulldozers were later called in to move almost 200 such vehicles off the road. Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) sent around 140 officers to assist with evacuations and gridlock.[12] Fire department officials issued an Emergency Alert System message, which was relayed by the National Weather Service, to notify residents of the evacuations, and subsequently ordered residents unable to evacuate to shelter in place.[35] At 2:30 p.m. on January 8, an evacuation order covering part of Santa Monica was expanded to cover all areas north of Montana Avenue from the beach to 11th Street, with evacuation warnings for additional areas north of Montana Avenue and areas north of Wilshire Boulevard and west of 10th Street.[36]

On January 10 at 6:00 p.m., evacuation warnings extended northeast, with the warnings changing to orders within the hour for the area enclosed by Sunset Boulevard to the south, Encino Reservoir to the north, Interstate 405 to the east, and Mandeville Canyon to the west. Communities in this area include parts of Tarzana and Encino in the San Fernando Valley.[37]

Impact

According to Wildfire Alliance statistics, the Palisades fire had destroyed at least 1,900 structures by January 8, making it the most destructive in Los Angeles's history.[38][39] It surpassed the Sayre Fire, the second-most destructive, which destroyed 604 structures in 2008, and the Bel Air Fire which destroyed nearly 500 houses in 1961. Smoke from the fire and other nearby fires caused severe air pollution in the Los Angeles area, with residents advised to wear masks in areas rated as red on the Air Quality Index.[40]

The fire completely destroyed much of Pacific Palisades; almost every structure in the area north of Sunset Boulevard burned to the ground.[41] Most of the neighborhood's "downtown", including the supermarkets and the hardware store, was leveled.[42] Destroyed or heavily damaged structures included the Community United Methodist Church of Pacific Palisades,[43] Pacific Palisades Presbyterian Church,[43] Corpus Christi Catholic Church,[44] St. Matthew's Episcopal Parish School,[45] Village School, and the landmarked Pacific Palisades Business Block building.[45]

The Palisades branch of the Los Angeles Public Library was destroyed.[46] The Los Angeles Unified School District schools Palisades Elementary and Marquez Elementary Schools were destroyed. Palisades Charter High School was "badly damaged",[47] with the main classroom and administration buildings being successfully protected by fire crews, but buildings on the edge of campus, closer to Sunset, burning down.[48] The Theatre Palisades was destroyed by the fire,[49] and vegetation at the Getty Villa caught fire but the building itself was unscathed.[50][51] Will Rogers' house and the stables at the Will Rogers State Historic Park were destroyed; park staff safely evacuated the horses and removed some of the exhibited memorabilia. The historic Topanga Ranch Motel at Topanga State Park also burned down. A total of 30 buildings across the two parks were destroyed including staff housing.[52] Restaurants along Pacific Coast Highway that burned included Cholada Thai, Moonshadows, and the Reel Inn.[53] The house on Alma Real Drive where Robbie Krieger wrote The Doors song "Light My Fire"[54] and the Robert Bridges House perched atop Sunset Boulevard were also destroyed.[55][56]

Numerous celebrities lost homes in the fire, including Jeff Bridges, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Michael Connelly, Barbara Corcoran, Denise Crosby, Billy Crystal, Cary Elwes, Max Emerson, Anna Faris, Mel Gibson, John Goodman, Jennifer Grey, Paris Hilton, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Tina Knowles, Ricki Lake, Larry LaLonde, Eugene Levy, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Rosie O'Donnell, JJ Redick, Melissa Rivers, Cobie Smulders and Taran Killam, Candy Spelling, Miles Teller, Milo Ventimiglia and Diane Warren.[57][53] On NBC News Daily, actor and Pacific Palisades resident Steve Guttenberg related his experiences trying to get to his house. He advised that the public should be mindful to leave vehicle keys with the vehicles in emergencies so that they may be more easily moved. Citizens in the area, including himself, have been volunteering their time in helping first responders. He said that "this is the time for us to remember that we're part of a community" and that people "have to help each other and be kind to each other. If you see somebody who needs help, help them. Ask them what they need."[58]

The Los Angeles premieres of Universal Pictures' Wolf Man and Amazon MGM Studios' Unstoppable were canceled due to the fire.[59][60][clarification needed] The property damage caused by the fire has resulted in vast liabilities for home insurance companies.[61] In particular, due to other insurers pulling out of the region, the California FAIR Plan had approximately $6 billion of exposure in the area covered by the Palisades Fire as of January 8, 2025.[62] Air tankers are dropping thousands of gallons of red flame retardant in the hills around Los Angeles as firefighters attempt to limit the devastation from multiple wildfires.[63]
