Updating maps of Southern California show where wildfires, including the Palisades and Eaton fires, are burning across Los Angeles.

Areas of Los Angeles County in Southern California are under mandatory evacuation orders following multiple fires that have started.

In May 2024, the city of Los Angeles adopted a Fiscal Year 2024 - 2025 budget that cut the appropriations for the fire department by $17.6 million from the previous year. At the time, the city of Los Angeles was negotiating the union contract with the firefighters' union, the United Firefighters of Los Angeles City.

Despite some progress, the biggest blazes — the Palisades and Eaton fires — rage largely uncontained. On Friday evening, the LA Fire Department issued new evacuation orders for the Palisades fire.

The evacuation zone was almost 50 square miles by evening, extending to the edge of Santa Monica and Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood.
