Los Angeles is battling four major wildfires that have claimed at least five lives and forced thousands to evacuate, with flames threatening iconic sites like the Hollywood Bowl. The fast-moving Sunset Fire erupted near the Hollywood Hills late Wednesday, lighting up social media with apocalyptic scenes. 🚒🚨
'This is one of the most challenging nights we’ve faced,' said LAFD Captain Maria Gonzalez, as crews worked to protect homes and landmarks. Over 10,000 residents in affected areas have been ordered to flee, with emergency shelters opening across the city.
🔥 Key updates: – Fire is 0% contained near Griffith Park – High winds (40+ mph) fueling flames – 15+ structures already destroyed
