Los Angeles is bracing for further destruction as forecasts suggest strong winds could fuel wildfire flames again today.

Two massive fires continue to ravage the city. The Palisades Fire, the largest, has burned more than 23,000 acres and was only 14% contained as of last night.

At least 24 people have died in the fires and 23 others are missing in the Eaton and Palisades fire zones.

The city’s mayor, Karen Bass, said “urgent preparations” were being made in anticipation of near-hurricane force winds, which were expected to arrive today.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles police force is dealing with cases of looting and arson – authorities announced yesterday that nine people had been arrested for the first case, as empty and fire-damaged properties remain vulnerable.

Before Los Angeles wakes up to another day of devastation, we’ll keep you up to date on how the forecast Santa Ana winds will impact the city and its residents. Stay with us.
