Los Angeles Burning

Reporters from both the local and national ABC News organizations mobilized across Los Angeles for thorough, on-the-scene coverage of the catastrophic fires of January 2025, even as two dozen of the local reporters were evacuated from their own homes and two had homes that burned to the ground. The coverage was crucial to residents trying to decide when to leave and when to return, while continuing coverage highlighted preparedness, environmental justice, infrastructure, and lasting effects.
