People Flee On Foot With Their Horses From Massive Fire Destroying Parts Of Los Angeles

Wildfires Continue to Spread Throughout Southern California
Beginning on Tuesday, January 8, three rapid fires swept through Los Angeles County, destroying thousands of homes and businesses and forcing people in the area to evacuate. The fires started due to dry conditions spread by strong winds.

Among the hardest-hit areas is Southern California’s Pacific Palisades, which has faced the most severe impact from what is now being called the “Eaton Fire.”

According to live updates from CNN, the fires are continuing to move quickly, burning the equivalent of five football fields per minute and covering a total of 2,900 acres so far.

Firefighters are still working to control the massive blazes. Unfortunately, as of Wednesday morning, reports say they are zero percent contained. Mandatory evacuations are in place across many areas. People in Los Angeles County are rushing to get to safety, leaving their belongings behind.

Videos from the last 24 hours show just how much of the area is burning. Some people even had to leave their cars and escape on foot.
