Palisades fire at 14 pct containment as Los Angeles braces for extreme winds | ABS-CBN News
Los Angeles offices confirmed on Monday afternoon that 14 percent of the Palisades fire has been contained though the city braces for another round of intense winds over the next days. Dry Santa Ana winds of up to 50 to 70 miles per hour (80 to 112 kph) were forecast to resume on Monday and persist through Wednesday, the National Weather Service said in issuing a "particularly dangerous situation" red flag warning. Firefighters raced to contain the frontiers of two Los Angeles wildfires that started on January 7, taking advantage of a brief respite in hazardous conditions before high winds were expected to fan the flames anew. At least 24 people have died in what California Governor Gavin Newsom said could be the most devastating natural disaster in U.S. history, one that has destroyed thousands of homes and forced 100,000 people to evacuate. Flames have reduced whole neighborhoods to smoldering ruins, leveling the homes of the rich and famous and ordinary folk alike, and leaving an apocalyptic landscape. Officials said at least 12,300 structures have been damaged or destroyed.
