What to know about the California wildfires
Santa Ana winds are set to cause critical fire conditions over the next three days across parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties as the region continues to battle historic and deadly blazes.
The wind-fed wildfires have killed at least 24 people and swept through 40,000 acres in the Greater Los Angeles area, destroying entire communities and more than 12,300 structures.
The largest blaze, the Palisades Fire, has burned over 23,000 acres and was only 14% contained as it threatened Brentwood, Encino and Westwood.
Evacuation orders are in effect for 92,000 residents of Los Angeles, and 89,000 are in evacuation warning zones, which means they may need to leave at a moment’s notice.
See a map of the evacuation zones here. Los Angeles County has declared a public health emergency, warning that smoke and particulate matter could pose immediate and long-term threats. The full warning and a list of recommendations can be found here.
