Volunteers from the humanitarian aid organization Samaritan's Purse, sift through debris from homes razed by the Eaton Fire to help salvage property, January 27, 2025 in Altadena, California. The Eaton Fire and the Palisades fire, which together have scorched more than 40,000 acres (16,000 hectares). The confirmed death toll from the fires stood at 24 and more than 12,000 structures have been razed. Estimates of the eventual cost of the tragedy have now risen to as high as $275 billion, a figure that would make it one of the most expensive in US history.
