Southern California Wildfires Intensify Amid Strong Winds
Southern California remains under threat as wildfires spread rapidly, fueled by strong Santa Ana winds and extremely dry conditions. Red flag warnings have been issued in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Fire officials are working tirelessly to contain the blazes.
At least 25 people have lost their lives, and more than 12,000 structures have been destroyed. Power outages have affected thousands, and evacuations are ongoing.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has requested federal disaster assistance. Several organizations, including Google and Disney, have committed significant funds to wildfire relief efforts.
Authorities expect a slight improvement in fire conditions later this week. (Source: AP News)
