TOPSHOT - A house is threatened as the Palisades Fire grows in the mountains in the community of Topanga, California, on January 9, 2025. The two largest fires burning in Los Angeles remain "zero percent" contained on January 9 despite firefighting operations, officials said, as they also vowed to tackle looting of evacuated homes. A 17,000-acre (6,900-hectare) blaze in Pacific Palisades has become "one of the most destructive natural disasters in the history of Los Angeles," said city fire chief Kristin Crowley, while a 10,000-acre fire in Altadena was also at "zero percent containment," said county fire chief Anthony Marrone.
