What Pacific Palisades does
to a microwave.

Pushed by Santa Ana winds, the January 2025 Palisades Fire spread across about 37 square miles and destroyed 6,837 structures.

Before the fire, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power topped off all three of its 1-million-gallon water tanks in the area under the red flag warning.

In survey data gathered mostly before the fire, detached houses made up about 73 percent of housing in the 90272 ZIP code and the median build year was 1967.

Roughly one occupied home in four in that ZIP code is heated mainly by electricity, against about 73 percent heated by utility gas.

On the water

Coastal storms that cut power for days end with a surge when the grid returns, and a microwave that stays dark from then on has usually blown its internal fuse or its high-voltage diode, both parts for the technician.

Kitchens that host

Feeding a crowd sends plates with gold rims and foil trays into the microwave, and the sparks that follow are the usual call; stop the cycle at once, and never run it empty afterward to test it.

Trim kits and drawers

Premium and European microwaves in a specified kitchen take parts that only their makers supply, so the model number is read from the data plate when the visit is booked and the part arrives with the technician.

When a microwave
cannot wait in Pacific Palisades.

In Pacific Palisades as anywhere, these five mean the microwave stays switched off until a technician has seen it: sparks or a flame inside, smoke behind the window, a burning smell, a breaker that drops, or a door that no longer seals.
