4 months agoLos Angeles wildfire reaches Getty Villa grounds, but 'staff and the collection remain safe'
"Fortunately, Getty had made extensive efforts to clear brush from the surrounding area as part of its fire-mitigation efforts throughout the year," Katherine E. Fleming, the president and chief executive of the J. Paul Getty Trust, stated. "Some trees and vegetation on site have burned, but staff and the collection remain safe. Additional fire-prevention measures in place at the villa include water storage on-site."
