"Beyond the efforts taken on the day of the fires to mitigate the risk, Getty staff have been preparing for fires for the past year and beyond.
Ground crews have been conducting extensive brush clearing regularly over the past 12 months, and all landscaping that could have been susceptible to fire was pruned.
Tree canopies were well off the ground and any low-lying brush was thinned as much as possible."

The assets contained in there are worth multiple billions of dollars.
I do wonder, and assume they did, if they evacuate the most valuable pieces.

Yet this is beyond the scope of L.A. to be able to accomplish. How many freaking prisoners do they have in L.A. county?

Indeed. It's as if common sense kicks back in at a certain (privately held) dollar amount.

They took the obvious fire mitigation steps.

Current Google Earth imagery of the Pacific Palisades area was taken January 20th of last year. You can zoom in and see the areas that were being maintained to prevent wildfires. Most of the area was not maintained.

I wonder if the museum has a special fire proof vault.

Homeowners and local governments are forbidden to clear brush up on lands because of that damnable kangaroo rat and it’s epa protections.
