The Palisades fire has significantly impacted Malibu, with around one-third of its eastern area devastated and entire neighborhoods lost, as officials report severe infrastructure damage, including power, water, and communication outages.
Jacqui Irwin highlighted the unprecedented devastation of the Palisades fire, saying, 'What you see is extraordinary...It is nothing like I have ever seen before.' Her remarks emphasized the scale and severity of the destruction.
Malibu Mayor Doug Stewart noted the rapid onset of the fire, stating, 'For the most part, they're gone.' He described how entire neighborhoods like Big Rock and Carbon Mesa were completely obliterated.
Mayor Stewart also discussed the communication challenges faced during the fire. 'We had almost no way to talk to our residents to warn them of the fire,' he said, underscoring the difficulties of managing evacuations due to lost communication.
