#PalisadesFire Update: 1/11/25 7:22am

Acreage: 21,596  Containment: 11%

Firefighting efforts continue to concentrate on building and improving containment lines with a focus on public safety and structure protection. For today, north to northeast winds will gradually increase, peaking in strength this evening and overnight. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH will begin at 6:00PM tonight and will remain in effect through 6:00PM Sunday night. Moderate to strong Santa Ana winds are likely to return Tuesday and Wednesday, creating critical fire weather conditions. 

The Los Angeles County and CAL FIRE Damage Assessment Teams (DINS) will continue to assess and validate structures impacted by the Palisades Fire. It is expected that more than 5,000 structures have been destroyed.

The Los Angeles Unified School District has canceled classes for all schools Friday. Residents are encouraged to avoid nonessential travel to allow firefighters plenty of room to work.

Additionally, we have been made aware that there is an inaccurate social media postcirculating on Facebook suggesting that people can come work in California as part of a clean-up crew in areas that burned in recent wildfires. There is no truth to this social media post, and there is no need to call and inquire.
