The Pacific Coast Highway reopened Monday, nearly a month after it was closed when flames from the deadly Palisades Fire ripped through hillside Los Angeles neighborhoods, destroying properties all the way down to the beach.

The Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, partially reopened on Monday, for the first time since fires tore through neighborhoods, destroying homes and businesses.

Just a day after fully reopening for the first time in weeks, Pacific Coast Highway will close again Tuesday in anticipation of back-to-back storms set to roll through Southern California that could potentially cause landslides in areas recently burned by the Palisades Fire.

Southern California faces an increased wildfire threat that is expected to last through most of 2025. While fire activity across the U.S. was generally low in January, Southern California saw a spike in wildfires due to Santa Ana winds.

"SFG needs your urgent assistance in the form of emergency interim approval of additional rate to help avert a dire situation for our customers and the insurance market in the state of California," State Farm said in a filing to the regulator.
