California Wildfires: Recent Developments
As of January 31, 2025, the Palisades and Eaton wildfires in Los Angeles County have been fully contained. These fires ignited on January 7 during a Santa Ana wind event, scorched over 37,000 acres, destroyed more than 16,000 structures, and claimed 29 lives. Communities such as Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Pasadena, and Altadena were severely impacted.
The economic toll is substantial, with insured property losses estimated between $28 billion and $45 billion. Broader economic impacts could reach up to $275 billion, making this one of the costliest disasters in U.S. history.
