"California Wildfire Live, Six Wildfires Burning
In Los Angeles County, Live Palisades Fire"
"Wildfires rage across Los Angeles, causing widespread devastation as they stretch resources to the limit. At least five people lose their lives and hundreds of buildings are destroyed. More than 100,000 residents are evacuated while another 100,000 remain under evacuation warnings. The fires, which began on January 7, continue to burn uncontained, fuelled by fierce winds that hinder firefighting efforts. Water shortages also impede the response, particularly in Pacific Palisades where a fire has consumed nearly 12,000 acres and destroyed over 1,000 structures, marking it as one of the most destructive wildfires in the city’s history.
In Pasadena, the Eaton Fire forces 100,000 residents to flee and claims at least five lives. Mayor Victor Gordo provides updates while Fire Chief Chad Augustin confirms that wind conditions are expected to improve, allowing containment efforts to begin. Over 750 firefighters and 60 strike teams, including reinforcements from Arizona, are working tirelessly to control the fire, which has spread across 10,600 acres. Five separate fires burn across Los Angeles County, holding the city in a pincer move. None of the fires are contained as state officials report that resources and water supplies remain critically stretched."
