Thousands of residents have been forced to flee the Los Angeles region in the wake of raging wildfires, as firefighters have struggled to contain several blazes that were fanned by strong winds and are expected to worsen.
Fueled by low humidity and raging Santa Ana winds of up to 60 mph, the Palisades Fire burned through 2,921 acres by Wednesday morning, while the Eaton Fire, which has left two people dead, had spread across 2,227 acres. Both were 0% contained as of Wednesday morning.
