Southern California Faces Ongoing Fire Threat Amidst Calming Winds

In Southern California, firefighters are battling numerous wildfires as dangerous winds continue to pose a significant threat. While winds are expected to calm slightly, the risk of new blazes remains high, especially with red flag warnings in place across various regions, including San Diego County. The Palisades Fire has reached 59% containment, but the situation remains critical with reports of evacuations and school closures due to power shutoffs affecting over 12,000 SDG&E customers. As conditions stabilize, fears of landslides from potential rain on recently burned ground add to the concerns. Emergency services are on high alert for the upcoming days, focusing on protecting communities and managing the ongoing fires as crews continue to make progress.
