Devastating California Wildfires

The wildfires in and around Los Angeles have claimed nearly 60 square miles and destroyed over 10,000 structures, marking one of the most destructive events in California's history. California Governor Gavin Newsom is demanding answers regarding the loss of water supply and fire hydrants running dry during these catastrophic incidents. Amidst continued evacuations affecting over 150,000 residents, firefighters are struggling to contain the flames, particularly the Palisades Fire, which has prompted additional evacuation orders. The situation has compelled officials to call for an independent investigation to understand the failures in firefighting resources during this dire crisis.
