The devastating Pacific Palisades fire
The Pacific Palisades Fire is being described as the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history.
According to Cal Fire, the blaze has consumed over 23,400 acres, destroying homes, businesses, and schools in its path.
Dry vegetation, strong winds, and a lack of rainfall created the perfect storm for the wildfire’s rapid spread. Tragically, the fires have claimed at least 27 lives while thousands remain displaced.
In addition to the Pacific Palisades Fire, the neighboring Eaton Fire in Pasadena and Altadena wreaked havoc, burning over 14,000 acres.
