Los Angeles authorities on Monday revealed updated maps of the destruction left in the wake of the city’s wildfires.
The maps focus on the impact of the Eaton and Pacific Palisades fires, two of the largest and least contained fires. The maps show destruction structure by structure, with red icons indicating a structure that has been at least 50% destroyed, while orange, yellow and green indicate more minor damage and black indicates no damage.
In total, the Eaton Fire affected 885 structures, of which 674 were more than half destroyed, while 157 avoided damage entirely. The Pacific Palisades Fire affected 664 structures, of which 485 were more than half destroyed and only 127 avoided damage.
“Field damage inspections may be ongoing and subject to change as information is collected and verified. Icons on the map indicate the current known condition of the structure,” city officials said.

Last week, Cal Fire reported that the Palisades and Eaton fires were among the top five most destructive fires in California history.
At least 24 people have been killed in the fires, but recovery efforts continue.
The Eaton and Palisades fires started Tuesday last week and have so far burned nearly 40,000 acres in total. The Eaton fire, centered around Pasadena, killed 16 people, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner said. The Palisades Fire has claimed eight additional lives, and both fires remain largely uncontained as of Monday morning.
