January 12, 2025 — Efforts are underway to control the devastating fire that has ravaged the Pacific Palisades area in Los Angeles, but the flames are spreading to more areas, particularly towards the densely populated San Fernando Valley.

Aircraft are dropping water and fire retardant to prevent the fire from spreading further, and KTLA TV has reported that strong ground crews have managed to save several homes.

There are forecasts of stronger winds in the coming days, which could exacerbate the spread of the fire.
