ai generated text

As of the latest update, there are 16 confirmed fatalities, with 11 attributed to the Eaton Fire and 5 to the Palisades Fire. However, officials expect this number to rise as cadaver dogs search levelled neighborhoods and crews assess the devastation. In the context of wildfires, air pollution is a significant concern, with estimates suggesting it causes up to 675,000 premature deaths worldwide each year. Authorities have warned of worsening conditions ahead and have urged residents to adhere to evacuation orders.
