OAKLAND, Calif. – The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Region 9 Administrator authorized the use of federal funds on January 7 at 2:57 p.m. PST to assist the state of California in combating the Palisades Fire, currently burning in Los Angeles County.

On January 7, the state of California submitted a request for a Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG). At the time of the request, the fire was threatening approximately 6,200 homes in and around Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles County, California, population 23,000.

The fire started on January 7, 2025, and has burned in excess of 300 acres of state and private land.
