OUR CURRENT FIRE LITIGATION CASES
EATON FIRE
The Eaton Fire broke out on the evening of January 7, 2024, in the Eaton Canyon area near Altadena, California. Fueled by dense brush and high winds, the fire spread aggressively overnight. By the following morning, it had burned over 10,000 acres, prompting evacuations, threatening homes, and blanketing surrounding communities in smoke and ash.
Although the fire was eventually contained, its impact continues to be felt. Families, homeowners, and business owners are left dealing with serious property damage, financial loss, and emotional distress.
At Guerra LLP, we are actively investigating the cause of the Eaton Fire and are representing those affected. Our team has extensive experience in wildfire litigation and is prepared to hold the responsible parties accountable, whether the cause involves utility negligence, infrastructure failure, or other preventable factors.

MCBRIDE FIRE
The McBride Fire began on April 12, 2022, in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Fanned by powerful winds and dry conditions, the fire moved rapidly through residential neighborhoods, ultimately destroying more than 200 homes, forcing mass evacuations, and resulting in two confirmed fatalities. The fire was fully contained days later, but the damage left behind was devastating.
In the aftermath, families, businesses, and entire communities were left coping with immense property loss, emotional trauma, and uncertainty. At Guerra LLP, we are proud to represent victims of the McBride Fire in their pursuit of answers and accountability.
While we are no longer accepting new clients for this matter due to the statute of limitations, our work on behalf of existing clients continues.

SMOKEHOUSE CREEK FIRE – TEXAS PANHANDLE (FEB 2024)
On February 26, 2024, the Smokehouse Creek Fire erupted in the Texas Panhandle, quickly becoming the largest wildfire in state history. Fueled by extreme wind and dry conditions, the fire tore through over 1 million acres, devastating ranches, homes, and entire communities in its path.
The fire left behind a trail of destruction: families displaced, livestock lost, fencing and equipment destroyed, and generations of ranching operations reduced to ashes. As investigations confirmed, this was no act of nature — utility infrastructure failure played a central role in the fire’s ignition.
At Guerra LLP, we represent ranchers, landowners, homeowners, and business operators whose lives were upended by this historic fire. With decades of experience in wildfire litigation, we’re here to make sure your losses are not ignored — and that those responsible are held accountable.
