LA's Fiery January: Wildfires Ravage City with Record Losses

Los Angeles is grappling with one of its most devastating wildfires ever, as death tolls climb to 16 and over 5,000 structures burn to ashes. The Palisades and Eaton fires scorch nearly 23,000 acres, displacing 153,000 residents from upscale areas like Brentwood. Firefighters, bolstered by 240 teams from Oregon, battle fierce Santa Ana winds that seem to have no off-season. Governor Newsom responds by investigating dry hydrants and budget woes, while economic losses soar past $52 billion. Stay safe and maybe keep the firecrackers at home this January!
