Los Angeles Wildfires Force Evacuations as Flames Spread Rapidly
Firefighters in Los Angeles are grappling with multiple wildfires, including the Palisades fire, which has prompted evacuations for around 30,000 residents. The blazes, exacerbated by Santa Ana winds and dry conditions, have already destroyed over 1,000 buildings. The Palisades fire has grown from 20 acres to over 2,900 acres within a short period, while other fires such as the Eaton and Hurst fires are also growing in size. Images from NASA show the dramatic scale of the inferno, contributing to a state of emergency in the region.
