Los Angeles Wildfires Trigger Mass Evacuations

Devastating wildfires fueled by powerful winds have forced mass evacuations across the Los Angeles area, affecting high-profile neighborhoods such as Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Santa Monica. Among those evacuated are celebrities like Mark Hamill and Jamie Lee Curtis, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris' Los Angeles residence. The fires have consumed thousands of acres, including 3,000 in Pacific Palisades, and remain completely uncontained. Despite efforts from thousands of firefighters, the strong winds continue to hinder containment efforts. Authorities have reported fatalities and significant injuries, and the fires have led to school closures and power outages affecting hundreds of thousands of residents. Officials have warned of worsening conditions, urging residents to heed evacuation orders as the situation remains critical.
