Two Los Angeles County incidents
CAL FIRE’s incident records list both the Palisades and Eaton fires as starting on January 7, 2025. They were separate incidents in different parts of Los Angeles County. Discussing them accurately means recognizing the affected communities and avoiding claims that any single property product would have prevented the losses.
Keep locations and records distinct
The Palisades record identifies its location southeast of Palisades Drive in Pacific Palisades. The Eaton record identifies the Altadena/Pasadena area near Altadena Drive and Midwick Drive. Official pages include incident maps and damage records. A regional summary should not turn those records into an assertion that every nearby home had the same exposure or outcome.
Build preparedness from several kinds of work
CAL FIRE explains that home hardening and defensible space work together. Building features, nearby combustible material and landscape care deserve their own attention. Use local guidance and qualified professionals to identify appropriate work. A vegetation-treatment proposal should state its contribution clearly rather than imply that it replaces required improvements or certifies compliance.
Review the landscape you actually have
A chaparral edge, maintained garden and wooded area can present different planning questions. Show WTG the proposed vegetation, slope, access and irrigation. Explain any local restrictions and scheduled landscaping. Product suitability and application boundaries should be resolved for the actual site, not inferred from its proximity to a well-known incident.
Make the treatment decision on a clear scope
WTG can discuss planned Komodo ground pretreatment for suitable selected areas. Ask for preparation, exclusions and cost in the proposal, and keep household evacuation planning separate. Request a quote when you are ready to review your property. The historical fires provide context for preparation, not a product endorsement or a counterfactual promise about what would have survived.
