Councilmember Traci Park announced that CAL FIRE was allowing residents in The Riviera and Santa Monica Canyon areas of Pacific Palisades to return to the area as of Friday, January 17, at 12 p.m. for the first time since evacuation orders went into place on Tuesday, January 7, for the Palisades fire.
“Finally, some good news to report,” Park said in a post on social media, confirming Mandeville Canyon and Brentwood Park residents were also allowed to return.
An evacuation order remains in effect for the zones, but residents with proper identification were able to return. A curfew remains in place from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., and utilities were still in the process of being restored, Park explained. A do not drink notice remained in effect for water in 90272.
“I have been advocating to get you back to your homes,” Park continued. “I am working with our partners to do everything that we can to speed this process up.”
As of January 17, Palisades fire is 23,713 acres with 31% containment.
