Firefighters Make Progress Against LA Wildfires Despite Risk from High Winds

Credited from: NPR

  • Firefighters are seeing some progress in controlling wildfires in California, with the largest being the Palisades and Eaton fires. However, high winds threaten these gains.
  • The Palisades fire has consumed over 20,000 acres and is only 8% contained, while the Eaton fire has killed at least five people and is 3% contained.
  • Current conditions are critical; strong wind gusts up to 60 mph are expected, causing further risk of fire spread.
  • Approximately 8,000 personnel from various agencies are responding to the situation, along with about 800 incarcerated individuals aiding in firefighting efforts.
  • More than 10,000 structures have been destroyed, with estimated economic losses ranging from $135 billion to $150 billion according to forecasts.
