As early as Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service of Los Angeles announced impending red flag warnings for two zones in Ventura and LA counties, emphasizing that the conditions were 'extreme of the extreme fire weather scenarios.' Fire officials explained that dry, fast winds over open brushland were fueling the ongoing blazes, with several huge fires already causing significant devastation.
Firefighters are witnessing a dire situation with a combined total of nearly 39,000 acres consumed by the Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst fires, which have led to at least 24 fatalities. Over 12,000 structures have been destroyed, underlining the grave impact of these wildfires. The Auto fire, while smaller, is still posing a threat as it remains at 0% containment.
