The Los Angeles communities of Pacific Palisades and Altadena have suffered enormous losses in the Palisades and Eaton fires over the past week.
Both fires broke out on Tuesday, January, 7, fueled by a Santa Ana wind condition that saw gusts surging to 80 to 100 mph, making fighting the fire extraordinarily difficult.
Together, the two Los Angeles fires have seared more than 35,000 acres and damaged or destroyed at least 10,000 structures, many of them family homes.
Sixteen people have lost their lives in the fire and 16 more are reported missing as of this writing.
At the height of the Palisades and Eaton fires, more than 180,000 Angelenos were under evacuation orders and hundreds of thousands more were under evacuation warnings.
Calmer winds on Sunday gave fire fighters a change to prepare fire breaks and dump water and fire retardent on the affected areas.
Several of the smaller fires including the Hollywood Hills, Kenneth, Hurst and Lidia fires have reached 100% containment as of Sunday.
However, both the Palisades and Eaton fires continue to threaten thousands of homes and businesses.

Worryingly, the Palisades fire has entered the Mandeville Canyon area of Brentwood and threatens to advance into the San Fernando Valley near Encino.
Entire neighborhoods in Pacific Palisades and Altadena have been wiped off the map due to the blazes.
The Eaton Fire is 14,117 acres and 27% contained, while the Palisades Fire is 23,707 acres and only 11% contained, according to Cal Fire.
Many celebrities have seen their multi-million dollar mansions razed to the ground.
In Sutton’s life, things are going strong with her new boyfriend Hugh Jackman, 56.
The stage actors decided to go public with their romance this week following years of speculation – after they both split from their respective spouses.
Hugh was married to Deborra-Lee Furness,68, for 27 years before they announced their shock split in September 2023.
Sutton was married to screenwriter Ted Griffin for 10 years before splitting in 2024.

Hugh and Sutton first met back in 2008 when the actress starred in Shrek the musical, however they became close when they were cast opposite each other in the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man.
The friends then bonded over their individual marital struggles but didn’t strike up a romance until he was ‘out of the heartbreak of his relationship ending.’
They finally decided to go public with their romance earlier this month as they are no longer ‘interested in hiding their love.”
‘Enough time has passed for Hugh to stop playing games and hide his feelings and his relationship,’ an insider said.
‘They both wanted to be considerate of their exes and anyone else that might be upset, but they aren’t interested in hiding.
