The situation in Los Angeles County continues to spiral out of control. We have several fires raging; none have been contained. There’s no water in the hydrants for firefighters to use, and LAFD does not have enough personnel to handle a crisis like this—it’s a total disaster. Over 70,000 people have been forced to flee their homes. At least five people have been killed. Malibu and Pacific Palisades have been destroyed, with parts of Santa Monica slated to suffer the same fate. 

Earlier this evening, a new fire erupted in Hollywood Hills, now under an evacuation order. The new inferno is less than two miles from Hollywood Boulevard. 

We could witness one of the most catastrophic wildfire disasters in US history; it's possibly the worst. 

We’ll keep you updated because local leaders, like Mayor Karen Bass, are trainwrecks that can’t be trusted. 

UPDATE: The heart of Los Angeles is under threat.
