Culver City Monitors LA Fires, No Immediate Threat Reported

Culver City officials confirmed on January 9, 2025, that the city remains safe from the devastating wildfires affecting the Los Angeles area. While the region battles intense fire activity, Culver City has experienced only minor impacts, including downed trees and power outages caused by strong winds.

The Culver City Fire and Police Departments are collaborating with other agencies to provide critical support for firefighting and evacuation efforts in neighboring communities. Mayor Dan O'Brien expressed solidarity with affected residents, stating, “Our thoughts are with victims from neighboring communities who have experienced unimaginable devastation. Thank you to our first responders for their commitment to helping these communities in dire need.”

Public Works crews are actively addressing debris and fallen trees throughout the city. Residents can report issues by calling (310) 253-6420. Meanwhile, the Department of Parks and Recreation has closed all parks and the Plunge due to poor air quality caused by smoke. Outdoor activities and classes are canceled until further notice, though the Senior Center remains open.

Officials urged residents to prepare for emergencies by signing up for Everbridge, the city’s emergency notification system. The platform sends alerts via phone, text, and email during disasters. Mayor O’Brien emphasized the importance of staying informed, saying, “This situation is a reminder to build a plan for yourself and family in case of an emergency. We will stay alert.”

As the crisis continues, Culver City remains vigilant in supporting public safety efforts and maintaining community preparedness. Residents are encouraged to rely on official city platforms for verified information.
