Los Angeles Wildfires Devastate Communities as Death Toll Reaches 24
Firefighters battle multiple blazes across Southern California with thousands displaced and worsening winds threatening progress.
- The Palisades Fire, which began Tuesday, has burned over 23,700 acres, destroyed more than 5,300 buildings, and is only 13% contained.
- The Eaton Fire, responsible for 16 deaths, has scorched over 14,000 acres and is among the most destructive wildfires in California's history.
- Dangerous Santa Ana winds, forecast to persist through Wednesday, are complicating containment efforts and fueling the risk of new fires.
- Over 105,000 residents remain under mandatory evacuation orders, with recovery and debris removal expected to take months.
- Experts link the severity of the fires to climate change, citing prolonged drought, record dryness, and extreme weather conditions as contributing factors.
