Photos: One Year After the Los Angeles Wildfires
Photojournalists recently revisited neighborhoods still recovering and rebuilding after the Palisades and Eaton wildfires destroyed more than 18,000 structures last January.
TL;DR
- Thousands of homes were destroyed and at least 30 people were killed in the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire in Pacific Palisades and Altadena, California.
- One year later, new homes are under construction on cleared lots in both communities.
- Some survivors are living in temporary housing, such as RVs, while their homes are rebuilt.
- Healing events, including equine-assisted therapy, are being offered to fire survivors.
- Runoff debris from the fires is washing into the ocean following heavy rains.
- Some homes that survived the fires remain contaminated by toxic ash and smoke.
