LA Wildfires Death Toll at 24, High Winds Expected, Looting Reported
Despite some containment progress, Los Angeles County remains under severe fire threat due to predicted “disastrous wind conditions” peaking Tuesday. A “particularly dangerous situation” alert has been issued by the National Weather Service, warning of extreme fire behavior. Authorities urge residents near evacuation zones to prepare for potential evacuations and avoid hindering emergency crews. While schools outside mandatory evacuation zones will reopen, communities remain on high alert as new fires continue to ignite.
