Thousands flee wildfires
The Herald|January 09, 2025
CALIFORNIA firefighters continue to battle wildfires that have torn across the Los Angeles area amid high winds, destroying homes, causing tens of thousands of people to flee and straining resources. Officials in and around the US city were preparing for the situation to worsen on Wednesday as California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency.

The fire broke out on Tuesday evening near a nature reserve in the inland foothills north-east of LA. Another blaze that started hours earlier ripped through the city's Pacific Palisades area, a hillside area along the coast dotted with celebrity residences and made famous by the Beach Boys in their 1960s hit Surfin' USA. Roads became impassable after scores of people abandoned their vehicles and fled on foot, some bearing suitcases.
