Thousands remain evacuated as crews work to contain Los Angeles County wildfires

As officials work to fully assess the destruction left behind by the Palisades and Eaton fires in Los Angeles County, newly released maps are providing a look at what was destroyed and damaged, and even what was left untouched.

The preliminary damage assessments posted on the county's wildfire recovery website feature color-coded icons that show the structures in the fire's footprints, and whether they were destroyed or what type of damage they sustained otherwise.

Newly released maps are providing a look at what was destroyed and damaged by the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire in Altadena - and even what was left untouched.

Ukraine may send rescuers to help fight the devastating fires in Southern California, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

"The situation there is extremely difficult, and Ukrainians can help Americans save lives," Zelenskyy tweeted. "This is currently being coordinated, and we have offered our assistance to the American side through the relevant channels. 150 of our firefighters are already prepared."

Firefighters from Mexico and Canada have also been deployed to California.

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power says crews have restored power to all customers except those in the fire threat areas where authorities have requested they turn off power lines.

They said this affects about 17,600 customers in Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Sylmar and Encino.

"LADWP crews will begin to restore power to these customers once we receive clearance from CAL FIRE to re-energize the circuits and assess the lines for hazards," said the utility in a statement. "We also have equipment affected by fire retardant that needs to be cleaned before we can re-energize these power lines."

If you're an LADWP customer outside of the high fire risk areas and are still without power, call 1-800-DIAL-DWP to report your outage.

As thousands of displaced families look for a place to stay due to the wildfires, the state has issued a series of protections, including one against price gouging.

On Sunday, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order that will streamline the rebuilding of destroyed homes and businesses.

The order also extends protections against price gouging in Los Angeles County on building materials, storage services, construction, and other essential goods and services to January 7, 2026.

During a press conference Saturday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said his office has received reports of hotels, rental properties, and other businesses charging too much for goods and services.

"We should not be engaged in price gouging, whether it's groceries or rent," he said. "We are very serious about this, and the governor's office, on ensuring that there is no price gouging and that anyone engaged in it is held accountable."
