For today through Wednesday, an extended period of moderate to strong Santa Ana winds will persist across the area, with the strongest winds to likely occur on Tuesday morning. Very dry conditions will remain across the area as the offshore wind continues so a RED FLAG WARNING will stay in effect till 6:00PM Wednesday evening. By Friday, offshore winds will end bringing cooler temperatures and higher humidity levels. Firefighters are continuing to work around the clock, minimizing acreage burned on all lands by utilizing effective strategies and tactics.

Aerial imagery overlays show approximately 5,000 structures may have been damaged or destroyed. The number of structures damaged and destroyed listed at the bottom of the page are verified by damage assessment teams and will be updated with validated information as it becomes available.

Damage inspections are ongoing. The damage inspection reports that we have completed are avalible at this link: https://recovery.lacounty.gov/palisades-fire/
