Los Angeles residents under evacuation orders amid 'apocalyptic’ fires

Sky News US analyst Michael Ware describes the Pacific Palisades fire in Los Angeles as “apocalyptic” and says locals are at the “mercy of the weather”. A state of emergency has been declared in LA after two deaths and a high number of injuries among residents and firefighters battling the 5000-acre fire. “It’s unprecedented, Los Angeles has never seen anything like this. Entire quarters of the city are burning,” Mr Ware told Sky News Australia. The Sky News US analyst said strong winds continue to spark new fires as flames are indiscriminately carried over to nearby neighbourhoods without “any kind of rhyme or reason.” “It’s a bushfire that’s left the bush and is feeding on houses almost at random.”
