The Palisades and Eaton fires have destroyed more than 1,000 structures each, making them the most destructive wildfires to ever hit Los Angeles, officials say. The Palisades fire alone accounts for thousands of destroyed structures, which will most likely rank it among the most destructive in California history. By contrast, the August Complex fire burned over a million acres but destroyed fewer than 1,000 structures.
An exact tally of the fires' impact will not be available any time soon, but authorities are confident there are thousands of homes destroyed. This highlights the immediate and catastrophic effects of the fires on densely populated areas, showcasing the vulnerability of urban infrastructures to natural disasters like wildfires.
