Firefighters mop up hot spots near the major communications towers on Mount Wilson, used by law enforcement agencies, LAX radars, television and radio broadcasting, the Secret Service and others, that were threatened by the flames of the deadly Eaton Fire on January 9, 2025 near Altadena, California. Thousands of structures have burned in the fire and multiple bodies are being discovered. Powerful Santa Ana winds pushed the fire to spread across more than 10,000 acres in less than the first 24 hours, and is now burning in the San Gabriel Mountains, in the Angeles National Forest and San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, rising some 5000 feet above Altadena at their base.
