LA Fire & Evacuation Info: Maps, Updates & Safety - Get Ready!

20 May, 2025

Is it possible to truly grasp the scale and impact of wildfires that regularly scorch the landscape of California, especially during the heightened risk of fire season? Wildfires, a constant threat in California, demand our unwavering attention, especially as they intensify and pose significant risks to lives and property.

Throughout California, within the jurisdiction of CAL FIRE, fires erupt on a daily basis during fire season. However, it's important to understand that the majority of these incidents are swiftly contained. Consequently, information regarding such events is generally not provided on this site if the fire's burn area remains under 10 acres.

To view real-time evacuation, shelter, and additional information, please refer to the map and text provided below.

This map is specifically designed for regional emergencies that pose a significant threat to a large number of people and/or property. For information on smaller, localized events, it's recommended to consult the media, local fire departments, and/or law enforcement agencies.

As multiple major wildfires rage across Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Orange Counties, interactive maps offer real-time visuals of where the blazes are situated. These maps also provide critical information on evacuation zones and air quality conditions. In some instances, based on the absence of significant smoke conditions, there may not appear to be an active fire problem.

The fire department's evaluation of access involves a thorough examination of existing and proposed public and private streets and fire lanes. Key aspects considered include adequate width, turn-around capabilities, turning radii, grade access points, parking restrictions, overhead clearances, load capacity, and secure entrances. The objective is to enhance response effectiveness.

Several wildfires are currently burning across Southern California, resulting in evacuations and posing threats to homes as they continue to expand.

For those seeking assistance or more information, the LAFD's Brush Clearance Unit is available for contact.

On the interactive map of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), individuals can find resources such as community areas and emergency services.

The hydrants and access unit is an entity that reviews both the placement and accessibility of all sites and structures.

Fueled by the fierce Santa Ana winds, multiple major wildfires near Los Angeles have resulted in the burning of nearly 40 square miles and forced over 180,000 people to evacuate their homes.

In the Pacific Palisades, the blaze is estimated to have consumed approximately 17,200 acres.

Even within evacuation zones where homes may have been spared damage, many cooperators are actively engaged in mitigating hazards. This includes addressing issues like fallen power lines, damaged guard rails, and clearing away significant wind-damaged trees and other debris.

Firefighters have secured their equipment and moved to a safe location while the LAPD establishes its operational command. The LAPD will take the lead until the occupant is removed, at which point firefighters can enter to assess what, if any, further action is needed.

For those seeking detailed information on the Palisades Fire, including evacuation orders and warnings, an interactive map is available on the CAL FIRE website. It's important to note that this map may not be the only source for real time and other information.

The map layers used are powered by Esri, Genasys, and Perimeter technology.
