Los Angeles is currently grappling with the devastating impact of multiple wildfires, including the Pacific Palisades Fire, the Hurst Fire, and the Eaton Fire. These fires have collectively caused widespread destruction, prompting evacuation orders and leaving thousands of residents in urgent need of assistance.
As of January 21, 2025, Los Angeles continues to battle against multiple wildfires with the Palisades and Eaton fires causing the most devastation. The Palisades Fire has scorched over 23,700 acres and is now 63% contained, while the Eaton Fire has burned over 14,000 acres with containment at 89%.
These fires have tragically taken at least 28 lives and destroyed approximately 13,400 structures, displacing thousands of families. More than 153,000 residents are under mandatory evacuation orders, with an additional 166,800 under evacuation warnings.
Firefighters are working around the clock to protect lives and property, battling strong winds, low humidity, and limited resources. Authorities urge everyone in affected areas to prioritize safety, follow evacuation orders, and stay informed through official updates.
The Los Angeles fires are quickly becoming the most destructive fires in California Wildfire history. Our thoughts are with all those impacted, and we are hopeful for the continued safety of all.
The Eaton Fire has caused significant devastation. This fire, driven by the Santa Ana winds with gusts up to 100 mph, has created extremely dangerous conditions. Thousands have been forced to evacuate and significant property damage has been reported across the affected region. Recently, it was reported that surveillance video and witness accounts are raising questions about whether the Eaton Fire may have been started by a downed power line.
The Hurst Fire caused significant damage to the area of Sylmar in Los Angeles County. About 799 acres of land was burned, displacing countless families. While the firefighters have made progress towards the containment of the fire at 98%, the devastation caused by the flames remains profound. High winds, dry vegetation and high temperatures contributed to the rapid spread of the fire.
The Pacific Palisades Fire ignited around 10:30 AM on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, near Piedra Morada Drive. Fueled by heavy winds and dry conditions, the fire grew rapidly, reaching 700 acres by midday and over 1,200 acres by late afternoon.
By around 5:00PM on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, approximately 30,000 residents were reported to have been evacuated, and at least 5000 structures have been damaged or destroyed. Residents continue to face severe challenges, including heavy smoke and gridlocked evacuation routes.
The City of Los Angeles has declared a state of emergency as firefighters battle these blazes under extraordinarily challenging circumstances. Severe Red Flag warnings remain in effect due to the combination of high winds and arid weather. As a precaution, Southern California Edison has implemented power shutoffs affecting over 5,000 residents in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, with additional outages expected in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
As of Tuesday, January 21, 2025, eleven fire-related deaths have been reported, and over 26,000 acres have been destroyed in the Los Angeles fires.

I highly recommend CaseyGerry, especially managing partner David S.

We now feel a sense of peace and gratitude towards CaseyGerry and the team.
I was impressed with the fact that a competitor attorney recommended Casey Gerry to me for their meticulous cases preparation, From the very start, team members with specific skills and duties were assigned to my case and provided me with all the necessary guidance and support for each phase of the process keeping me informed and aware of the details and requirements throughout the whole process until it was settled and resolved to our complete satisfaction.
