Pacific Palisades Fire Webcams in Los Angeles

Pacific Palisades was until the 7th of January, 2025, a tranquil coastal suburb of Los Angeles. The peace and life of its wealthy residents was to change dramatically within the space of a few hours when wild fires swept through the deluxe urbanisation. While you can’t see the devastation caused by the fires necessarily on these live feeds, it’s there and severe enough to be declared a major disaster by the state Governor and the President.

The neighbourhood of Pacific Palisades covers an area of approximately sixty-three square kilometres. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean and surrounded by park lands including the Topanga National Park and the Will Rogers State Historic Park. Before the fires struck, it was home to over twenty thousand people.

Due to its Mediterranean climate, consistent low rainfall and katabatic winds, the Santa Ana winds, Pacific Palisades has always been at risk of wildfires. And while the blaze of 2025 wasn’t the first fire to put the neighbourhood in danger of being razed to the ground, the enormity of the destruction it has caused, and its after effects, will take a long time to recover from.
