Arab Weather - The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles continue for the sixth day, resulting in 24 deaths, destroying 12,000 buildings, and forcing 100,000 people to flee their homes. California Governor Gavin Newsom described the fires as "the worst disaster in US history."

Developments in the field situation

  1. Pacific Palisades Fire: 23,713 acres burned and only 11% contained. The fire is threatening the upscale Brentwood neighborhood, prompting firefighters to step up their efforts with aircraft and heavy firefighting equipment.
  2. Eaton Fire: 14,117 acres, 27% contained.
  3. Hearst Fire: In the northern areas of the city, it is 89% contained, while three other fires are fully contained.

Future damages and threats

  1. Total destruction of entire neighborhoods, including luxury homes and ordinary dwellings.
  2. The National Weather Service warns of strong winds reaching speeds of 110 kilometers per hour that may reignite the fires in the coming days.

Residents are in shock over the devastation and ongoing fires. Lindsey Horvath, a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, called it "another night of horror and heartbreak."

Authorities are mobilizing all available resources to contain the fires and limit losses, while residents are cautiously awaiting any improvement in weather conditions.
