Wildfires in Southern California have claimed 27 lives since January 7, leaving thousands of homes destroyed and causing widespread devastation. The Eaton Fire is now the deadliest in the region’s history, with recovery efforts underway.
The devastating wildfires that have been raging across Southern California since January 7 have claimed at least 27 lives, according to a report released Thursday by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office. The Palisades Fire is responsible for 10 deaths, while the Eaton Fire has been linked to 17 fatalities.
The wildfires have caused widespread destruction, leaving thousands of homes and structures in ruins. With the Eaton Fire now considered the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in Southern California's history, the Palisades Fire ranks as the second most severe. The damage has been particularly devastating in the Pacific Palisades area, where approximately 510 hectares have burned, stretching between Santa Monica and Malibu.
As smoke filled the skies, around 30,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes. The fires created severe traffic disruptions as people fled the area, with extreme winds further complicating the situation overnight. Officials have estimated that the economic losses from the fires could reach between $250 billion and $275 billion. While fewer than 100,000 people remain under evacuation orders, some areas are still impacted by the ongoing flames.
To aid in the recovery effort, a benefit concert called FireAid will be held on January 30. It would feature performances from major artists, including Los Angeles native Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas, along with Dave Matthews, John Mayer, and Sting. The concert aims to raise funds to support those affected by the catastrophic wildfires.
