The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has extended the deadline for Los Angeles County wildfire victims to apply for federal aid. Affected homeowners, renters and small businesses now have until Monday, March 31, 2025, to seek financial assistance for losses and damages caused by the fires. The original deadline of March 10 has been pushed back to ensure more residents can access the support they need.
