More than a 2,000 homes, businesses, and other buildings have burned, and at least five people are dead in wildfires scorching communities across Los Angeles County, making this one of the most destructive firestorms to hit the region in memory.
As of Wednesday (January 8, 2024), the Pacific Palisades fire had charred more than 17,234 acres in Pacific Palisades, burning down to Pacific Coast Highway, where it engulfed homes along the iconic stretch.
While red flag warnings will be in effect for Los Angeles County and much of Ventura County until 6 p.m. today.
While the majority of the news coverage in terms of people losing homes has focused on celebrities, hundreds of “regular” people are now without homes and have lost everything, and businesses have been destroyed.
