Angelenos face a long road recovery as many of the residents lost their homes and livelihoods in the recent fires.

Fires across the Los Angeles area have killed at least 25 people. The Palisades and Eaton fires continue to burn in Southern California.

Some residents evacuated in the Palisades fire also were allowed to return home on Thursday afternoon. Their homes are in an area near the Encino Reservoir, bordered on the east by the 405 Freeway and Westridge Canyonback Wilderness and north of West Sunset Boulevard.

Attorneys are suing Southern California Edison, alleging the utility company's negligence caused the deadly Eaton and Palisades fires.

The utility has notified the California Public Utilities Commission that it had received a number of notices, from attorneys representing insurance companies, to preserve evidence regarding the Eaton fire.

The L.A.-area fires may pose the first big test of California’s wildfire fund, which was set up in 2019 to protect utilities from bankruptcy.
