Los Angeles: After a tough week battling wildfires, firefighters are finally making some progress. The Eaton Fire near Pasadena has been a major concern, but it’s now about 50% contained.
Meanwhile, the Palisades fire hasn’t spread much lately, which is a relief for everyone. It’s been a rough time, with over 12,000 buildings damaged or destroyed.
Good news is on the horizon! The weather is changing, with winds dying down and temperatures dropping. This could mean the worst is behind us.
Most of the fire warnings are set to expire soon, and only about 82,000 people are still under evacuation orders. But there’s still a lot of frustration among residents who had to leave their homes so suddenly.
On top of that, authorities are cracking down on looters and arsonists trying to take advantage of the chaos. Charges have been filed against several suspects, and some have already been arrested.
One guy even admitted to starting a fire just because he liked the smell of burning leaves! It’s a wild situation, but the community is coming together to support each other.
