Live Nation, AEG, and the Azoff Company are organizing 'FireAid,' a benefit concert at the Intuit Dome, in response to devastating Los Angeles wildfires that have claimed 24 lives and destroyed thousands of acres across LA County.

The fires have caused widespread destruction:

• Palisades Fire: 8 deaths, 11% contained
• Eaton Fire: 16 deaths, 27% contained
• Total area burned: Over 62 square miles
• Structures destroyed: More than 12,000
• Estimated damage: $135-150 billion

The FireAid benefit concert will take place on Thursday, January 30. The event aims to:

• Rebuild infrastructure
• Support displaced families
• Advance fire prevention technologies
• Improve LA's fire emergency preparedness

All proceeds will go to a dedicated 501(c)(3) organization established for the event. Performer lineup and ticket information will be announced soon.

Government Response:

• Governor Newsom signed an executive order to expedite rebuilding
• Environmental regulations temporarily suspended
• Property tax assessments frozen
• Over 24,000 people registered for federal assistance following President Biden's disaster declaration

The situation remains critical as Santa Ana winds are forecast to intensify, with sustained winds of 50 mph expected through Tuesday. Search and recovery efforts continue, with officials expecting the death toll to rise as cadaver dogs search affected areas.
