More than three weeks after devastating fires in Southern California, state officials confirmed full containment of the Eaton and Palisades fires. The incidents resulted in 29 fatalities, immense property destruction, and dislocation of thousands. The Palisades fire destroyed 6,800 structures and scorched 23,448 acres, while the Eaton fire affected 9,400 structures and burned 14,021 acres. Recovery will be lengthy and costly, concerns remain over the health impacts from damaged air quality, and many still search for missing loved ones amidst the ruins.
Evacuation orders were lifted as both the Eaton and Palisades fires were fully contained, marking an end to a devastating chapter for Southern California.
The cost of rebuilding after the Eaton and Palisades fires could reach into the hundreds of billions, with at least 14 people still unaccounted for.
