Pacific Palisades was one of the cities most severely affected by the Palisades wildfire in January 2025, with thousands of houses and businesses consumed by flames and leaving only ash behind, displacing many residents and devastating the community. Two months later, reconstruction efforts are in full swing as workers clear away ash and burnt materials in the first phase of rebuilding, while simultaneously working to restore essential utilities and help residents reclaim their homes and livelihoods as quickly as possible.
