New maps showcase the horrific impact of the Palisades and Eaton fires on Los Angeles, revealing entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble. The wildfires have claimed at least 24 lives and destroyed over 12,000 structures, with the death toll expected to rise. Strong winds are fueling the flames, leading to fears of further expansion.
Shocking new maps show the utter destruction wrought by the deadly Palisades and Eaton fires in Los Angeles , offering a house-by-house view of impacted neighborhoods – some of which were nearly leveled completely. The two largest wildfires in the L.A. area have destroyed more than 12,000 structures and killed at least 24 people — and are expected to grow again this week as strong winds fuel the flames.

Those in orange suffered significant damages and those in green minor damages. Black homes indicate no damage. \Across the city, the Eaton Fire, which has claimed at least 16 lives, has burned more than 14,000 acres near Pasadena and left some entire communities smoldering in ashes, the maps show. Entire blocks were razed while in some cases just streets away, homes suffered no damages at all, the interactive map shows. The map represents properties that were spared with a black house and properties that suffered minor damages with an image of a green house. Homes that suffered significant damages were marked with orange, and destroyed homes in red. \'If there is not a color icon on your address, it means a building has not yet been inspected,' officials said. The Eaton Fire is now the 5th deadliest wildfire in California history and with many people still missing, the death toll is expected to grow. As of Monday morning, the fire was 27% contained six days after it started. The Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire alone decimated 59 square miles — an area more than double the size of Manhattan. \Forecast for damages in LA fires triples to $150B — costliest blaze in US history Gavin Newsom hits back at Trump over wildfire blame game, urges him to visit LA: ‘Take a look for himself’ left by an earlier wildfire believed to have been sparked by fireworks set off on New Year’s Eve, according to the Washington Post The remnants of the New Year’s Eve fire likely could’ve been reignited by the strong Santa Ana winds that blew into the area last week — even six days after it was put out. \With winds expected to pick up again early this week, the fires are likely to grow again despite significant progress made over the weekend as firefighters desperately try to stamp out the flames.
