  • Wildfires in Los Angeles have expanded rapidly, exacerbated by strong Santa Ana winds, low humidity, and dry vegetation.
  • Among the ongoing fires, the Palisades Fire surged from 10 to over 17,000 acres in three days, while the Eaton Fire has exceeded 10,600 acres.
  • The National Weather Service previously forecasted conditions for extreme fire behavior, with damaging winds approaching 100 mph.
  • Persistent drought conditions have left over 83% of Los Angeles County affected, and there has been minimal rain since April.
