Vista Verde Fire

On March 30, about 7pm, a major residential fire began at 2110 Palos Verdes Drive North affecting 25 unit family dwellings. Approximately 100 firefighters responded to the scene and worked throughout the night to extinguish the flames. The heavy rainfall greatly aided in the firefighting efforts. Fortunately, no residents or firefighters sustained any injuries during this unfortunate event.

The city is working closely with various agencies including the LA County Fire Department, Lomita Sheriff’s Department, LA County Building and Safety, and the American Red Cross as well as the Vista Verde Homeowners Association to manage the aftermath of this incident effectively.

The Rolling Hills Covenant Church generously provided a resource center to the residents today and Community’s Child has set up a donation with proceeds going directly to the affected residents.

The city will continue to provide support and assistance during this challenging time and will collaborate closely with local agencies to prioritize the safety and well-being of its residents.
