Status Update

Situation Summary

Containment efforts are steadily progressing along the eastern edge of the fire near Santa Ana Canyon. The mobile retardant base at Mount Wilson remains active providing fire retardant for helicopters to drop in inaccessible terrain, where ground crews cannot construct containment line. Infrared flights have identified isolated heat pockets within the interior of the fire area, where fuels continue to burn out. Tactical patrols and mop-up operations continue along the northern perimeter of the fire. Hand crews are actively clearing brush and constructing contingency lines in critical areas of La Cañada. Contingency resources are strategically prepositioned throughout communities along the fire’s western edge to due to the Santa Ana wind conditions.

Urban Search and Rescue efforts, infrastructure assessments, hazardous materials response, and damage assessment operations are ongoing for the communities on the southern edge of the fire. These operations are unprecedented in size and scale and are critical for mitigating existing hazards, confirming missing persons reports, and obtaining accurate number of structures damaged/destroyed.

A Red Flag Warning has been extended through 6 p.m. tomorrow night. Moderate to strong Santa Ana winds are expected to persist during this period, with the highest risk of gusty winds affecting the fire area early Wednesday morning.

Virtual Community Meeting Wednesday, January 15th 4:00 p.m.: Eaton Fire officials will host a virtual community meeting and provide an update on the current fire situation, address questions, and discuss recovery.

Please submit your questions in advance via email at: 2025.eaton@firenet.gov
The meeting will be streamed live on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LosAngelesCountyFD

Please be advised: An inaccurate social media post is currently circulating on Facebook. The post claims that individuals can come to California to join a clean-up crew in areas affected by recent LA wildfires. This information is false, and we would like to clarify that there is no such opportunity available. We kindly ask that you refrain from calling in to inquire about this.
