Multiple Wildfires Rage Across Los Angeles, Prompting Evacuations and Rising Death Toll

A series of fast-moving wildfires have erupted across the Los Angeles area, leading to urgent evacuation orders and a tragic increase in the death toll, now reported at six. The Kenneth Fire, which has rapidly expanded in the West Hills and Calabasas regions, is threatening thousands of homes and prompting officials to issue evacuation warnings. As firefighters battle these flames, rates of containment are currently at 0% for multiple fires, with significant damage reported, including the destruction of over 2,000 structures. New fires have also ignited in the San Fernando Valley and Hollywood Hills, adding to the already critical situation. Calm winds have provided some relief to firefighting efforts, but the scope of devastation remains severe.
