What Sparked the Airport Fire?
The Airport Fire ignited on September 9, 2024, in Trabuco Canyon, Southern California. Investigations revealed that the fire was accidentally started by Orange County Public Works employees conducting fire prevention measures. While placing large boulders to restrict access to high-risk brush areas, their equipment inadvertently sparked the blaze. Despite immediate efforts to extinguish the flames, the fire spread rapidly due to dry conditions and strong winds.
Our team is closely monitoring the aftermath of this disaster and is committed to supporting families and businesses impacted by the Airport Fire. We understand the emotional and financial strain this has caused and are here to assist you in exploring your legal options and pursuing rightful compensation.
If you or your loved ones have been affected by the Airport Fire, our experienced team is ready to guide you through this challenging time with compassion and expertise. Don’t hesitate to reach out.

-
Emotional Distress: Compensation for the psychological impact and diminished quality of life resulting from the disaster.

Evacuation Expenses: Reimbursement for costs related to emergency evacuation, including transportation, meals, and temporary shelter.
-
Emotional Distress: Compensation for psychological impact and loss of enjoyment of your property.
-
Personal Injury: Medical expenses and related costs for injuries sustained during the wildfire.
-
Wrongful Death: In tragic cases, compensation for the loss of a loved one, covering funeral expenses and loss of support.
