Updating maps of Southern California show where wildfires, including the Palisades and Eaton fires, are burning across Los Angeles.

Fires across the Los Angeles area have killed at least 24 people and destroyed more than 12,000 structures, officials said, scorching more than 60 square miles and displacing tens of thousands of people.

Dozens of people are believed to have died in the Palisades and Eaton fires, which have burned down whole swaths of communities

Officials are urging residents in some areas to evacuate due to an "immediate threat to life," according to Cal Fire.

The evacuation zone was almost 50 square miles by evening, extending to the edge of Santa Monica and Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood.

The Palisades Fire has been the largest in terms of burned areas. The iconic Malibu restaurant Moonshadows was completely destroyed, as was the Palisades Branch Library. The Palisades Charter High School suffered extensive damage. Here’s an analysis of the building damage with what we know now:

In May 2024, the city of Los Angeles adopted a Fiscal Year 2024 - 2025 budget that cut the appropriations for the fire department by $17.6 million from the previous year. At the time, the city of Los Angeles was negotiating the union contract with the firefighters' union, the United Firefighters of Los Angeles City.

Firefighters in Pacific Palisades and Altadena have repeatedly been hampered by low water pressure and dry hydrants, revealing limitations in local water systems designed to supply neighborhoods.

Wildfires in Los Angeles County continued to burn on Monday, January 13, 2025, as firefighters worked to contain portions of the deadly Eaton and Palisades fires, at 14% and 33% containment as of Monday morning. A total of 24 people were reported dead on Sunday evening.

Air quality is also a concern for residents in Southern California as these wildfires rage. Newsweek has reached out to the Los Angeles County Fire Department via email for comment Tuesday night.
