 For additional support, contact the ROE Support Hotline at (844) FIRE-DEBRIS.
For those who opt-out: Property owners who choose to hire private contractors for fire debris removal can now receive a permit that allows home and business owners and their authorized private contractors to manage their own debris removal efforts while ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal safety and environmental standards.
The first edition of the Eaton and Palisades Fire Debris Removal permit is available via the County’s EPIC-LA system. For more details, click here.
