A fast-spreading wildfire in California’s Pacific Palisades near Los Angeles has forced the evacuation of 30,000 residents from 10,000 households. Strong winds have driven the flames into residential areas, prompting a large-scale firefighting effort.
Governor Gavin Newsom warned of the fire’s rapid growth, stating, “We are already seeing devastating effects.” Los Angeles Fire Chief Anthony Marrone added that worsening winds heighten the danger. Efforts to contain the blaze are ongoing as amateur footage captures the chaos of the advancing flames.
