Overview

  • Human remains recovered in Altadena by county search teams have raised the confirmed wildfire death toll to 31.
  • County officials say the identity of the latest victim is still undetermined as forensic teams process the remains.
  • The January infernos in Pacific Palisades and near Pasadena destroyed over 16,000 structures as Santa Ana winds drove the flames.
  • Follow-up storms in late January quelled the blazes but caused hazardous floods and mudslides in burn-scarred hillsides.
  • Ongoing investigations, lawsuits against Southern California Edison, and billions in aid requests highlight the drive for accountability and recovery.
