LOS ANGELES — After a nearly three-week closure because of the Palisades and Sepulveda fires, trams at the Getty Center are running again, carrying folks from all over the world who have come to see the priceless works of art.

Les Borsay is the emergency planning specialist for the J. Paul Getty Trust, and one of the main things he plans for — at both facilities — is fire.

He was at the Getty Villa when the Palisades Fire erupted. Fifteen security and facilities personnel stayed overnight, fighting small vegetation fires.

Getty President and CEO Katherine Elizabeth Fleming commended the team and the preparations they put into practice.

“They knew immediately what it was that they were supposed to do under such a circumstance and they did it,” she said. “They irrigated the grounds. They shut off the HVAC system so that no particulate matter or smoke could get into the galleries.”

The Villa sustained some damage on the grounds and remains closed.
