In January of 2025, multiple fires have spread in Southern California, displacing tens of thousands of people, killing more than a dozen. One fire alone would be difficult to manage, but the Los Angeles region is seeing multiple fires. NBC news reports:
- The Palisades Fire erupted the morning of Jan. 7 in Pacific Palisades, a Los Angeles neighborhood east of Malibu, as a brush fire. The blaze had grown to more than 23,713 acres and likely damaged or destroyed 5,316 structures.
- The Eaton Fire ignited hours after the Palisades Fire near a canyon in the sprawling national forest lands north of downtown Los Angeles. It had exploded to 14,117 acres and likely damaged or destroyed more than 7,800 structures.
- The Hurst Fire started on Jan.7 in Sylmar, a suburban neighborhood north of San Fernando, as a brush fire. It has expanded to 799 acres.
- The Auto Fire erupted in Ventura County on Monday night, nearly a week after the first wave of Los Angeles blazes ignited and spans 56 acres.
