Live updates: Wildfires spread across Los Angeles
Wildfires are raging across Los Angeles, turning the skies red, destroying homes and businesses, and blanketing the region with smoke and debris. The largest fire is in Pacific Palisades, which has grown to over 23,000 acres as of Tuesday morning and forced hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate. Two other major fires have engulfed Los Angeles County: The roughly 14,000-acre Eaton Fire in Altadena and the 799-acre Hurst Fire north of San Fernando. Several more small fires have also broken out throughout Southern California as powerful winds continue to sweep the region. At least 24 people have been killed. Devastating wildfires like these are becoming increasingly common, even in places that have not historically been at risk, with climate change exacerbating the conditions that fuel them. This is a developing story. Follow here for the latest news, explainers, and analysis.
