🚨🇺🇸LA WILDFIRES: PALISADES & EATON FIRES UPDATE
The Palisades Fire has torn through over 23,000 acres, with just 13% containment.
A massive force of 5,123 personnel and 44 helicopters is waging war on the flames, but progress remains slow.
Crews are racing against time to douse hotspots before fierce winds return, threatening to reignite chaos.
The Eaton Fire has become the 5th deadliest wildfire in California history, as it scorched over 14,000 acres.
With 27% containment, its sheltered position in the mountains has kept activity minimal.
Over 3,155 firefighters, supported by law enforcement and National Guard troops, are battling to prevent it spreading further.

🚨PALISADES FIRE: LACK OF BRUSH CLEARANCE FUELED THE FLAMES!
The Palisades fire could have been slowed if officials prioritized proper brush clearance.
As homes burn and winds spread embers like wildfire, it’s clear: ignoring this essential prevention step is costing lives and property.
The Getty Villa proved it—smart landscaping and cleared brush saved structures. So why wasn’t the same done across vulnerable areas?
It’s time for leaders to stop ignoring the basics and start protecting Southern California with aggressive brush clearance measures.
