Los Angeles’ historic Palisades and Eaton fires are fully contained after nearly a month of burning, according to CalFire officials. The cause of the fires is still under investigation.
“The conditions, that night, were unbearable,” Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said during an interview with 60 Minutes. “It was a devil wind that came out, you know, that extreme Santa Ana wind condition.”
In the wake of the devastation Governor Gavin Newsome signed a $2.5 billion aid package to help the city rebuild, while numerous fundraisers opened with a range of objectives. The massive FireAid concert and the fundraiser linked to the Grammy Awards are hoping to raise over $100 million and $24 million respectively, according to the Associated Press and Variety.

Numerous other relief efforts are underway, including:
- GoFundMe – A verified fundraiser page for many affected by the wildfires.
- The American Red Cross – Wildfire donation page that includes help to shelter families, serve meals, and support emergency responders.
- The LA Regional Food Bank – Wildfire update page where people can make donations, receive updates, and make food donations.
- The Salvation Army – A verified relief page for all those affected by the wildfires.
- Direct Relief – The California-based disaster relief and medical assistance organization has a donation page for all those affected by the wildfires.
- World Central Kitchen – An organization that provides fresh meals to communities in need has a donation page for all those affected by the wildfires.
- SPCA LA – A donation page for helping animals in the wake of disaster.
- Pasadena Humane Society – A wildfire donation page for helping animals in the wake of disaster.
Thanks for posting the info on donations. I remember when Hurricane Andrew hit Florida in 1992 we donated to the Red Cross because it seemed to be the only fundraiser. It is good to see more organizations involved with relief efforts. Hope Firefighters can get some rest for a bit.
