California Wildfires Burn Nearly 37,000 Acres

California is grappling with fast-moving wildfires, notably the Palisades and Eaton fires, which have devastated nearly 37,000 acres and resulted in at least 11 fatalities. Strong Santa Ana winds are exacerbating the situation, with red flag warnings issued for multiple regions across Southern California. Approximately 166,000 residents have been evacuated, and thousands of homes have lost power, with schools in impacted areas closing down. Governor Gavin Newsom has mobilized over 7,500 firefighting personnel and 1,200 fire trucks, while President Biden has assured that the federal government will cover 100% of firefighting costs for the next 180 days. New evacuation orders have been implemented as additional fires erupt in areas like Hollywood Hills and Granada Hills. The community is responding, with public figures like Prince Harry and Meghan encouraging Californians to support those affected by the wildfires.
