Wildfires in the Los Angeles area are forcing an increasing number of residents to leave their homes.
Over 52,000 people in Pasadena have already received evacuation orders, while another 46,000 residents have been warned to prepare for potential evacuation soon.
Additionally, more than 30,000 people living in the Pacific Palisades area left their homes on the hills northwest of Los Angeles a few hours ago. Residents of the San Flores area in Malibu have also been ordered to evacuate, though the exact number of affected individuals in that region has not yet been confirmed. In total, the fires have impacted over 100,000 people, forcing them to leave their homes.
The National Weather Service is urging everyone in at-risk areas to closely monitor warnings and not ignore instructions from authorities.
The Los Angeles Fire Department has issued an emergency call for all off-duty firefighters to report in. Their assistance is needed to reinforce teams, replace exhausted firefighters, and ensure overall safety.
