Dubbed the Eaton fire, it consumed 1,000 acres by nightfall on January 7. Meanwhile, to the north, the Hurst fire expanded to 100 acres in Sylmar, a San Fernando Valley suburb, prompting further evacuations as the flames threatened homes and communities.

Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin M. Crowley noted that several structures in Pacific Palisades had been damaged, though the exact number was still unknown. Officials reported that the Palisades fire threatens over 10,000 households and 13,000 structures, while the Eaton fire has placed at least 550 homes in danger, according to Pasadena spokesperson Lisa Derderian.

The Eaton fire, which began in Altadena just north of Pasadena, has expanded to 1,000 acres within six hours and, like the Palisades and Hurst fires, is completely uncontained. Fire crews, who began their efforts on January 7, are now facing worsening conditions as strong winds intensify overnight, making containment efforts even more challenging in the early hours of January 8.

Southern California has been gripped by strong winds, reaching speeds of 50 to over 100 miles per hour in some mountain areas, combined with extremely dry air. Overgrown vegetation, spurred by two rainy winters but left dehydrated by this season’s lack of rain, has become highly flammable. Forecasters have warned that this is “about as bad as it gets in terms of fire weather.” A house engulfed in flames on January 7, 2025, in Los Angeles, California. | Source: YouTube/CBSEveningNews A house engulfed in flames on January 7, 2025, in Los Angeles, California. | Source: YouTube/CBSEveningNews These extreme conditions are further intensified by the seasonal Santa Ana winds, which bring dry, forceful gusts from Nevada and Utah. Historically, these winds have fueled some of California’s most devastating wildfires, including the 2018 inferno that destroyed the town of Paradise. Advertisement With extreme weather persisting, officials warn that the fires could escalate further. Wind speeds were forecast to peak between late evening on January 7 and early morning on January 8, potentially fueling rapid and unpredictable fire growth.

Residents throughout Southern California are also being cautioned to stay vigilant for new fires sparked by the dangerous conditions. The severity of the fires has prompted direct attention from state leaders. Governor Gavin Newsom shared his observations after visiting the impacted areas, where swirling winds, embers, and widespread destruction left a lasting impression.
