Eaton Fire officials will host a virtual community meeting and provide an update on the current fire situation, address questions, and discuss recovery.
A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation. Please submit your questions in advance via email at 2025.eaton@firenet.gov.
Current Situation: 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.
Weather: 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.
Damage Assessment: Damage estimates from remote sensing technologies indicate over 7,000 structures may have been damaged or destroyed. While this is a preliminary estimate, the number of structures damaged and destroyed listed at the top of this page have been verified by on-the-ground damage inspection teams. Damage inspection teams have completed inspections for 45% of all structures within the fire footprint.
Starting Wednesday, January 15, 2025, the Disaster Resource Center will be available to the public from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Residents affected by the wildfires can apply to receive assistance by submitting applications for disaster relief.
