Status Update

Situation Summary

Today’s efforts are focused on mop up and reinforcing containment lines to ensure perimeter control. Hazard trees along roadways are being mitigated to protect both firefighters and the public. The fire is expected to remain within its current footprint, with aircraft continuing to support firefighters with retardant drops in inaccessible terrain. As repopulation efforts progress, the focus remains on ensuring that people are brought back into a safe and secure environment. Contingency resources are strategically prepositioned and ready to respond 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. today. Santa Ana winds will gradually subside throughout the day, though very dry conditions are expected to persist through Thursday. Calmer and more humid weather is anticipated by the weekend.

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.
