Some Southern California residents are refusing to leave their homes amid the ongoing wildfires due to looting in the fiery Los Angeles area. Local news station KCAL reported Wednesday that multiple residents told reporters that they're worried about evacuating their homes due to the flames, but also due to looters reported to be taking items from the affluent neighborhoods.

Reporting from damage from the Eaton fire, reporter Haley Winslow said Wednesday, "It has turned into the wild wild west here. It is just complete insanity on all corners.

"Police are doing the best they can, They're seeing looters walking down the street with large TVs just taking advantage of what little this town has left," Winslow said.
