🇺🇸 Wildfires in Los Angeles: The Most Destructive in the City's History

🔥On January 10, 2025, wildfires continue to rage in Los Angeles, now recognized as the most destructive in the city's history. The disaster has claimed at least 10 lives, destroyed nearly 10,000 structures, and forced 180,000 people to evacuate. Another 200,000 residents remain under evacuation warnings.

‼️ The two largest fires — the Palisades Fire (between Santa Monica and Malibu) and the Eaton Fire (in the east near Pasadena) — have consumed an area of 35,000 acres. These fires have completely destroyed entire neighborhoods, leaving only ash behind.

🆘 Reports indicate that dry winds, such as the "Santa Anas," have exacerbated the warm weather conditions in the region, aiding the spread of the fires. Southern California has received minimal rainfall since May, creating ideal conditions for the fire to spread. A new fire broke out on the hills above Hollywood Boulevard, adding to the ongoing threats in the region.
