Dozens of people are believed to have died in the Palisades and Eaton fires, which have burned down whole swaths of communities

Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley said Tuesday that “life-threatening and destructive and widespread winds” are in the region, which could fuel the growth of new or existing wildfires in Los Angeles County and Ventura County.

As firefighters continue to battle raging fires across Los Angeles County, a cut to the Los Angeles Fire Department 2025 budget and its commitment to recruiting a more diverse force have come under attack.

Arrests near wildfire zones in Los Angeles continue to increase as more National Guard members have been deployed to the region.

Air quality remains a big concern in Los Angeles County, and not just for those nearby the Palisades and Eaton fires.

A group of Pacific Palisades residents and businesses impacted by the Palisades Fire has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against the city's Department of Water and Power.

Palisades Fire initially started 10:30 a.m. Jan. 7 in Los Angeles County. It has burned 23,713 acres after being active for 11 days. A crew of 5,478 firefighters has been working on site and they managed to contain 43% of the fire by Saturday afternoon. The blaze's cause remains under investigation.

Improving weather conditions continue to aid in the increased containment of both the Eaton and Palisades fires, with some evacuations lifted in the Palisades Fire area.
