Wildfire Status:

The Eaton Fire, currently active in the Angeles National Forest, has reached full containment, with 100% of the fire perimeter accounted for. Despite the fire being under control, the area remains impacted by smoke and air quality issues, prompting authorities to provide resources for the public to monitor air quality and access smoke readiness tools. Damage assessments have been completed for all structures within the fire-affected footprint, allowing for a clearer understanding of the impact on the local communities.

In response to the fire, various agencies have mobilized to ensure safety and provide support. The Angeles National Forest has issued a closure order for the Eaton Fire area, effective until December 31, 2025, which restricts access to affected roads and trails. Additionally, all evacuation orders and warnings have been lifted, allowing residents to return safely to their homes. However, residents are encouraged to check for updates on local road closures and emergency resources through the Los Angeles County Emergency Information website and other local authority channels.

Weather conditions during the ongoing response have been monitored closely, with potential rain forecasted in the coming days. In preparation for this, residents are advised to acquire free sandbags to mitigate flooding risks associated with runoff from burned areas. Emergency management officials stress the importance of being prepared, especially in light of the recent fire's impact on land stability and water drainage in the region. Community resources remain available, including animal care facilities for both small and large animals displaced by the fire.
