Fire cleanup nears the finish line

"THAT SPEED is extraordinary," an official said of the cleanup in the Palisades, above, and Altadena areas.

Less than eight months after the Eaton and Palisades wildfires destroyed 16,000 buildings in Los Angeles County, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced it was preparing to clear wreckage from the final residential parcel that opted into the federal cleanup.

At a news conference Tuesday in Pacific Palisades, U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks), L.A. County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath and L.A. City Councilmember Traci Park joined federal disaster agencies in commemorating the federal response to the wildfires as the fastest wildfire recovery in modern history.
