"New Podcast Examines the Role of Community Brigades during the Palisades Fire This week marks the one-year anniversary of the Los Angeles wildfires, two of the most destructive fires in California history. The podcast explores whether these kinds of brigades might be replicated in other places as California continues to grapple with more devastating - and more unpredictable - wildfires."
The Los Angeles wildfires reached a one-year anniversary marked by two of the most destructive fires in California history. Community-led efforts emerged during the Palisades Fire through a "Community Brigade" model that enabled trained civilians to work alongside firefighters. The model is described as first-in-the-nation and provided direct local support during active wildfire response. Consideration is underway about whether similar brigades could be implemented elsewhere. Replicating such brigades could augment formal firefighting capacity and enhance community resilience as California faces increasingly severe and unpredictable wildfire seasons.
