A home in the Pacific Palisades that survived the Palisades Fire was later tragically split in two by a landslide triggered by the fire's aftermath. While nearby homes were destroyed by the flames, this particular residence remained largely untouched. However, the fire weakened the soil and recent rainfall saturated it, leading to the dangerous landslide.
A home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles , California, miraculously survived the devastating Palisades Fire but was later split in two by a landslide. The incident occurred Thursday morning on Castellammare Drive, near Pacific Coast Highway and Sunset Boulevard. The home, perched precariously close to the hillside, appeared to have been pushed off its foundation by a buildup of mud and fire debris.
While nearby homes were destroyed by the flames, this particular residence remained largely untouched. It's unclear when the landslide happened, but firefighters believe it could be a result of the fire weakening the soil and the recent rainfall saturating it. Similar problems could develop under other homes in the area, especially if the region receives more rain. Without vegetation to absorb the water, the risk of landslides and flash flooding during rainstorms significantly increases.Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Chief Scott said authorities are actively mapping properties to identify potential dangers. The agency has already mapped over one-third of the properties in the affected area. 'We're not out of the woods yet,' Chief Scott warned. 'We're going to have to deal with rains and mudslides that come.
