Kalifornijski vatrogasci bore se sa šumskim požarima koji su zahvatili područja širom oblasti Los Angelesa, uništavajući kuće, tjerajući u bijeg desetine hiljada ljudi koji su zakrčili puteve svojim vozilima i opterećujući resurse, dok se zvaničnici pripremaju za dalje pogoršanje situacije.

A ferocious wildfire in a Los Angeles suburb devoured buildings and sparked panicked evacuations, as hurricane-force winds tore through the region. More than 200 acres (80 hectares) was burning in Pacific Palisades, a upscale spot with multi-million dollar homes in the Santa Monica Mountains. Across town, on the northern edge of Los Angeles, another fire broke out in Eaton Canyon, near Pasadena, quickly consuming 200 acres (81 hectares) later in the night, according to Angeles National Forest officials.
