Southern California is facing a wildfire crisis as extreme fire danger and hurricane-force winds fuel destruction. With 25 lives lost and 13 people still missing, fires like the Eaton Fire and Palisades Fire have already scorched tens of thousands of acres. High winds of up to 70 mph and months without rain are making conditions catastrophic.

Officials are linking the intensifying wildfire season to climate change, as warmer and drier weather fuels these devastating events. Tens of thousands remain under evacuation orders, with emergency measures underway to aid victims and rebuild.
