On January 7, a wind-fueled wildfire spread across the Pacific Palisades neighborhood in Los Angeles.
At least five people have died, as several wildfires fueled by strong winds are still mostly uncontrolled in Los Angeles County. The latest fire is the Sunset Fire in the Hollywood Hills, where evacuation orders have been given.
The Palisades Fire, raging between Malibu and Santa Monica, has spread to over 15,800 acres with no containment. It has destroyed at least 1,000 structures, making it the most destructive fire in Los Angeles County's history.
