I follow Wildfire Today and it's sister site Fire Aviation, both sites are reporting on the Palisades Wildfire, Wildfire Today's most recent post (Jan 7th) may be found here and Fire Aviation posted later in the evening on Jan 7th. This is a fast moving fire fueled by extreme winds. The winds are hampering aerial operations which according to this report from CBS News were shut down January 7th at 8PM, the report includes a map of the fire area and reports on the Hurst and the Eaton Fires. Evacuations due all three fires are in place, residences have been destroyed, and there are road closures in the area. Schools have also been closed.
The New York Times reported on these fires this morning, the article is gifted for 10 days. The Washington Post is also reporting on these fires in an article posted today (gifted to you for 10 days).
Life threatening winds occurred Tuesday, Jan 7th and Wednesday morning January 8th for the Los Angeles area.
