Eaton Fire Attorneys

Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP is actively monitoring the situation and investigating the source and devastation caused by the Eaton Fire and the Palisades Fire — two of the largest and deadliest wildfires currently burning in Los Angeles County. Fueled by strong winds and dry landscapes, these fires have caused unfathomable destruction and loss of life in the greater Los Angeles area. Our attorneys are standing by to help those affected by the fires. 

The Eaton Fire ignited near Altadena Drive and Midwick Drive in Altadena, California. The blaze has scorched more than 14,000 acres, killed at least 16 people, damaged or destroyed thousands of homes and structures, and displaced over 52,000 residents who were ordered to evacuate their homes and businesses.  

The Palisades Fire started on the 1100 block of North Piedra Morada Drive in Pacific Palisades, on the west side of Los Angeles. The fire has burned more than 23,000 acres, killed at least 8 people, and nearly 1,300 structures have been lost. Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said at a news conference that there was also a large number of individuals who did not evacuate and suffered serious injuries. Others remain missing.  

The cause of the Eaton Fire and the Palisades Fire remains under investigation.
