California Wildfires Force Thousands to Evacuate

California is grappling with unprecedented wildfires, forcing over 80,000 residents to evacuate from areas like Pacific Palisades and Pasadena. Fueled by a combination of dry conditions and powerful winds, the fires have destroyed over 3,000 acres and resulted in at least two fatalities. Governor Gavin Newsom reported that more than 1,400 firefighters are deployed to combat the blazes, although high winds have hindered aerial firefighting efforts. The Los Angeles Fire Department has confirmed injuries among residents, as some have been forced to abandon their vehicles in the rush to escape. Vice President Kamala Harris expressed solidarity with those affected and highlighted the mobilization of federal resources to assist in firefighting efforts. As the situation evolves, officials continue to warn residents to prepare for further evacuations if necessary.
