US EditionAs key fire-debris-removal deadline looms, LA County says nearly 10,000 have opted in to clean-up
- In Los Angeles County, with wildfires having occurred in January, the Los Angeles County Coordinated Joint Information Center is urging property owners to fill out Right of Entry forms by March 31 to enable debris removal.
- Following the wildfires, residents were concerned about the lingering effects of wildfire smoke and potential toxins settling on surfaces.
- As of March 2025, 9,756 property owners out of 12,100 eligible parcels have opted in to the government debris removal program, enabling the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to clean up ash and debris at no direct cost to homeowners, preparing the property for rebuilding.
- Christopher Sheppard, representing the L.A. County Debris Regional Task Force, stated that there will be an effort to clean up all properties, recommending that property owners take advantage of the government debris removal program whenever possible, even though insurance debris removal might cover costs depending on individual eligibility.
- While all property owners are required to clean up their properties, those who do not opt-in to the government program by March 31 will be responsible for cleaning up their properties by June 30, 2025, and the Army Corps is estimated to complete all debris removal by Jan. 20, 2026.
