What is Fire Rebuild?
Fire Rebuild is the dedicated platform for documenting and providing the definitive historical reference of the Palisades Fire, the worst unnatural disaster in the history of California. This site serves as a permanent archive ensuring the truth is preserved for future generations.
Origin
Fire Rebuild was initially established to expose the documented corruption, malfeasance, and intentional infliction of emotional distress directed at fire survivors by city employees. Born out of deep frustration with California’s unequal treatment of its citizens, the initiative began when it became clear that while some residents were forced through years of bureaucratic red tape, others received preferential treatment despite violating building codes and laws.
Fire Rebuild is not affiliated with any government agency and does not represent municipal, state, or federal authorities. We stand for transparency, justice, and recovery.

"They Let Us Burn" - Palisades Fire Anniversary
On January 7, 2026, exactly one year after the catastrophic Palisades Fire, residents rallied in the heart of the Pacific Palisades to demand accountability for a total breakdown in prevention, precaution and leadership from the City of Los Angeles, State of California, LADWP, LA Fire Officials, California State Parks, California Natural Resources Agency, state/local agencies, Governor Newsom, and Mayor Bass. Despite promises of action, city and state leadership and agencies have delivered little real progress, with limited vision or a clear plan paired with great uncertainty.
