Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger issued the following statement in response to today’s full containment of the Eaton Fire:
“I am incredibly grateful to the courageous firefighters, first responders, and emergency personnel who worked tirelessly to contain the Eaton Fire. Their hard work and perseverance is world class.
While the fire is now fully contained, my focus and undivided attention remains on recovery efforts, supporting those affected, and mitigating future fire risks.
I will continue working closely with local, state, and federal partners to ensure our communities have the resources they need to rebuild and prepare for future wildfire threats. Together, we will continue strengthening our response and resilience. The Eaton Fire has taught us all that we must remain vigilant and prepare for the unimaginable.”
