#EatonFire Update by City of #Pasadena
Law enforcement is allowing residents in the evacuation area a single visit to access their homes with reasonable verification. We encourage residents to be prepared to gather any and all documents or items needed during this one-time entry.

Yeah I’m calling it.
This is going to be worse than the Northridge earthquake and the ‘94 Malibu fires combined. In terms of buildings, heritage/history and lives lost.

Octavia Butlers house gone. Jackie Robinsons house is gone. Will rogers estate lost. Abolitionist John Brown’s site gone. The legendary 150 year old Christmas tree lane destroyed. #JPL #NASA in the line of fire.

#Altadena barely exists anymore. #Pasadena is going to shift forever. It is heartbreaking. #eatonfire #LAWildfires

via Mt. Wilson Observatory 🐦

We are relieved to report that the flare-up of the #EatonFire near the Observatory seems to be under control for now. We are grateful to firefighters & mountain staff for their dedication to keeping the mountain safe. We will monitor the situation as things can change quickly.

From Ken Klippenstein's newsletter:

"Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass, literally went silent when asked about the fire department’s budget. And during a press conference, Bass said that resources for those in need of assistance “can be found at U-R-L,” spelling out the generic term for a weblink instead of the actual link."

Hey y'all, you can find my website at URL.

World Central Kitchen is on scene at the #EatonFire, doing what they do best. They also reached out to those staffing the temp animal shelters. They are the best.

Additionally, per LA City Emergency Management Department: A wireless emergency alert to evacuate was sent in ERROR to all of LA County.

As enormous scope of the damage from #PalisadeFire & #EatonFire becomes clearer, I wanted to share this imagery depicting fire footprints (from 1/8) & potentially affected structures within them (provided by my colleague David Marvin @ Planet Labs). [Image below] #LAfires #CAfire

Another presser. It's the law's turn:

20 people have been arrested for looting. The PD is not pleased. After the supervisor (don't know her name) finishes snarling, the Sheriff will be up next.

Sheriff praises supervisor. National Guard support requested for Palisades and Eaton fires. It's a county request, but they are working in coordination with LAPD. Praises Gov. Newsom, "who has been on the phone constantly with us."

Death toll per the fire - the number for that and looters is in flux. We're operating in a very fluid environment. We'd like to give you a number. To you, it's a number. To us, we have to contact family members. Confirmed, by death, numbers will change as we get into the damaged areas. Homicide will do the death investigations once they can get in there. Our team has been working on a curfew around the 2 fire areas, Palisades and Eaton. We'd like to implement it tonight. If not, tomorrow night. 6PM to 6AM. "That will be the goal. We will be enforcing that." They say the NG presence will help deter looters, "so we don't continually victimize people who have had to leave their homes." The majority of people they've had to rescue from cars and houses were people who refused to adhere to mandatory evacuations. Please leave when you're told to go. If you have questions, please visit lacounty.gov. I missed the /whatever part.

There will be a house-by-house search for bodies.

13,690+ acres to the Eaton Fire, which has grown because it went up Mt. Wilson.

A firefighter who fell is in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery.

4-5000 structures determined to be destroyed. This morning they reported 1000. [I think he means just the Eaton Fire.] The fire remains under investigation. Because the cause of the fire is unknown at this time, if it turns out to be an arson fire, the deaths are homicides. Which is why the Sheriff and law enforcement will be involved in body searches.

Fixed-wing aircraft and helicopter support is still hit-and-miss. They get up in the air, and the winds can get too high to proceed.

Arcadia fire chief praises the help. Misstated their URL. IT IS NOT A BACKSLASH! I think it's www.arcadia.gov/2025fire but who knows? And is anything capitalized? Get a geeky nerd to read website URLs, please.

Judy Chu just had a tour of Altadena and Pasadena talks about business and homes that are gone. Appreciates first responders. Speaks of Biden's help - speaks of being already reimbursed for 75% of costs of recovery, and appreciates POTUS raising it to 100% for the next 180 days. FEMA administrator will be at the site of the Eaton fire later. "Help is on the way, and I know that we will get through this."

Pasadena mayor is up - says they consider Altadena part of the city of Pasadena. Praises many civilian responders. Mentions the curfew briefly. Asking if you are under mandatory evacuation orders, stay out of those areas until you hear officially that the orders have been lifted.

The speakers are finished. Now the reporters are up. ABC7 asks about the curfew. "There is definitely going to be an impact to residents." Asking police and NG to be sensitive to needs. Will try to minimize impact, but will maximize security. [Translation: They are cops and NG. Try to be patient with them.]

"Are President Biden's orders going to be undone after January 20th?" The answer was that they could be, and that Trump shouldn't.

KCAL9 just cut off the presser.

Gratitude often saves me. #3goodthings (and some bonus) about yesterday, 2025/01/08, it being day two of #lafire:

- We haven't had any evacuation warnings regarding the #eatonfire.
- My kitty cat makes me laugh and always lightens the mood.
- We've got two air purifiers that we can use during these fires.
- I haven't lost my home or my belongings.
- I played guitar for my partner and mother-in-law and found my parlor guitar sounds just beautiful in open G.
