The Palisades Fire, currently the largest of four life-threatening wildfires in Los Angeles County, is anticipated to become the costliest wildfire in history, according to climate scientist Daniel Swain from the University of California, Los Angeles.
With over 1,000 structures already destroyed, the Palisades Fire is deemed the most destructive wildfire to ever hit Los Angeles County, as reported by CalFire. Furthermore, it holds the unfortunate title of being the most destructive fire in California's history to occur in January.
