Wildfire Crisis in Pacific Palisades Forces 30,000 Evacuations

The Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles is currently facing a significant wildfire crisis, with over 30,000 residents evacuated as the fire rapidly spreads.

The wildfire's rapid expansion is attributed to extreme Santa Ana winds, with gusts reaching up to 100 mph, creating hazardous conditions for both residents and emergency responders. These winds have not only intensified the fire but also led to widespread power outages affecting more than 28,000 households.
