  • Summary






  • A swift-moving wildfire in Pacific Palisades, California, prompted the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents and led to a state of emergency declaration. Driven by strong winds and dry conditions, the blaze rapidly scorched nearly 1,300 acres, destroying several buildings and endangering numerous others. Extensive firefighting resources, including air support, were mobilized to combat the flames, with federal assistance offered by Governor Newsom and President Biden. Mandatory evacuations were enforced, and schools were relocated to ensure residents' safety and safeguard properties. While the Getty Villa was affected by the fire's proximity, proactive fire mitigation efforts successfully preserved the site.
