The 2025 Eaton Fire was a large-scale wildfire that broke out in January 2025 near Altadena, California. Dry winter weather and strong winds caused the flames to spread rapidly, resulting in severe damage to nearby residential areas and natural environments.
The fire destroyed hundreds of buildings, forced thousands of residents to evacuate, and caused multiple injuries. Additionally, the local ecosystem suffered significant damage, making recovery efforts challenging. This wildfire has once again highlighted the growing risk of wildfires driven by climate change.
