Devastating Wildfires in Los Angeles: Five Bodies Recovered, Nearly 100,000 People Evacuated

Los Angeles, January 9 - The devastating wildfires spreading across Los Angeles reached the Hollywood Hills area on Wednesday. The fires have already claimed five lives and destroyed hundreds of homes, putting immense pressure on firefighters and the water supply system.

Approximately 100,000 people have been ordered to evacuate the city. Dry, hurricane-force winds are hindering firefighting efforts, causing the fire to spread rapidly. The wildfires, which started on Tuesday, have affected various regions of Los Angeles.

As the fires spread to Pacific Palisades and the hills above Pasadena, the city has been hit from both sides. The new fire in the Hollywood Hills has worsened the situation, with hundreds of homes burned and strong winds obstructing efforts to control the blaze.

U.S. President Joe Biden has declared the event a major disaster and canceled his scheduled trip to Italy.
