Los Angeles Wildfire Death Toll Reaches 24, Firefighters Prepare for Fierce Winds and Potential Explosive Growth

ai generated text

Wildfires in Los Angeles have killed at least 24 people, destroyed thousands of homes, and left 16 missing. Strong winds, with gusts up to 70 mph, are worsening the situation, prompting a rare "particularly dangerous situation" warning. The Palisades Fire threatens Brentwood and San Fernando Valley, and authorities expect the death toll to rise.

    1. Life-threatening winds and dangerously low humidity are forecast for much of southern California – from Ventura to San Diego – creating a significant risk of rapid fire spread. The winds will cause increased fire activity.
  2. US
    US National Weather Service
    1. Peak winds for this next event will be weaker than those last week. Nevertheless, winds will be strong enough to potentially cause explosive fire growth.
    2. Dry vegetation combined with the prolonged extreme fire weather conditions will support rapid spread and erratic behavior of any new or existing fires.
    3. Critical fire-weather conditions will unfortunately ramp up again today for southern California and last through at least early next week.

    1. California State Parks mourns the loss of these treasured natural and cultural resources, and our hearts go out to everyone impacted by [the fires].

    1. Responding to Donald Trump's insults, we would spend another month. Every elected official that he disagrees with is very familiar with them. Mis- and disinformation I don't think advantages or aids any of us.

    Karen Bass
    Democratic Party
    1. Don't walk away because we want you to come back, rebuild, and rebuild with higher quality building standards, more modern standards. We want to make sure that the associated costs with that are not disproportionate, especially in a middle-class community like this.
    2. As you see here, the chief and I are lock-step in our number one mission, and that mission is to get us past this emergency.
  6. US
    Deanne Criswell
    Federal Emergency Management Agency
    1. The winds are potentially getting dangerous and strong again. I believe the red flag warnings have been put back in place. This is still dangerous, and [people] need to make sure they're listening to their local officials so they can keep themselves safe.

    Robert Luna
    Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
    1. We are turning him over to LAPD because he was dressed like a fireman, and he was not. He just got caught burglarising a home. So those are issues that our front-line deputies and police officers are dealing with.
  8. US
    Anthony Marrone
    Los Angeles Fire Department
    1. Please rest assured that first thing Thursday we will begin talking about repopulation.
    2. They can't go home, simply because it's not safe.
