Rick Carhart, a public information officer at Cal Fire, explained, "We cut out all the brush and grass down to bare soil, right up to the fire's edge, so there’s nowhere for the fire to go." This strategy was crucial in preventing the Palisades fire from spreading into residential areas.
Christian Litz, the operations lead for the Palisades fire, noted, "Winds are in our favor in that area, so it looks really good. We have to work really hard though in the area to secure it." This highlights the challenges faced in firefighting.
