Supporting Los Angeles Fire Victims with Aerial Imagery: How We’re Helping Insurance Adjusters, Homeowners & Real Estate Agents

Written By Alex Castillo

In the wake of the devastating fires that have swept across Los Angeles — from the Eaton Fire in Pasadena to the Palisades Fire and the Haskell Fire near Lakeview Terrace — entire communities have been left reeling, with properties reduced to ashes and lives upended.

At Los Angeles Aerial Image, we’re here to help.

Whether you're a homeowner navigating the insurance claims process, a real estate agent preparing to list a fire-damaged lot, or an insurance adjuster in need of clear and comprehensive documentation, we provide aerial photos, high-resolution video, and immersive 360° imagery that show the full scope of damage with clarity and precision.

Why Aerial Imagery Matters After a Fire

Post-fire documentation is not just about photos — it's about perspective.

Many affected properties are difficult to access or fenced off for safety. Ground-level images alone often fail to capture the total footprint or condition of a site. Our drone systems allow us to safely access restricted areas with FAA-compliant clearance and provide vital visual documentation from above.

We’ve already been working in areas impacted by recent fires, including:

  • Pacific Palisades (90272)

  • Eaton Canyon (Pasadena)

  • Haskell Canyon & Lakeview Terrace

  • Kanan Dume Road (Malibu)

  • And more areas throughout Los Angeles County

Our 360° Aerial Package: See the Full Picture

In addition to traditional aerial photography, we offer a specialty 360° aerial shot, typically captured at about 50 feet above the ground, that allows clients to interactively explore the property. Users can rotate their view in any direction — just as if they were standing right there.

This is especially helpful for:

  • Insurance claims that require clear and detailed visual proof

  • Agents preparing MLS listings or property websites for burned or cleared lots

  • Homeowners who can’t physically visit the site

Experience a real example of our 360° aerial imagery package, captured 50 feet above a fire-damaged property in the Palisades (90272). This interactive view allows insurance adjusters, homeowners, and real estate agents to see the full scope of the damage from every angle.

Trusted Access. Trusted Results.

Because of our professional credentials and FAA Part 107 certification, we've been able to legally access secured fire zones that remain closed to the public. That means we can get in quickly and capture images that matter — before clean-up or demolition begins.

Our work has already helped clients move faster with:

  • Insurance documentation

  • Property assessments

  • Real estate planning and marketing
