Two major wildfires in Southern California, the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire, have been fully contained after devastating over 37,000 acres and leading to the deaths of at least 28 people. These fires, which started on January 7, were the most destructive in LA County's history, damaging or destroying 16,000 structures. The causes are still under investigation, but dry conditions and climate change played a significant role in their severity. Fire officials highlighted the challenges posed by an increasingly dry climate across the western and southern US.
The two fires, the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire, were the most destructive in the history of Los Angeles County, killing at least 28 people.
