Summary
Nearly 1.5 years after the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires of January 2025, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is directing county agencies to develop a plan to clear regrown vegetation from burned lots in Altadena and the Santa Monica Mountains. The fires, fueled by dry chaparral and brush, left behind barren landscapes, but native and invasive plants have since regrown, creating renewed fire hazards. The plan aims to mitigate future wildfire risks by managing vegetation regrowth on razed properties and parklands.
