- Deadly wildfires force mass evacuations: Five wildfires across Los Angeles County have killed at least five people, destroyed thousands of structures, and displaced 130,000 residents.
- LA’s most destructive fire ever: The Palisades Fire, now at 17,000 acres with no containment, has devastated Malibu and Santa Monica areas, destroying nearly 2,000 structures alongside the Eaton Fire in Altadena-Pasadena.
- Hazardous conditions linger: While calmer winds provided brief relief, intense winds, polluted air, and unsafe water continue to threaten residents.
- Schools affected: Sixteen school districts are closed, with some extending closures as two schools in the Palisades have burned down.
