Wildfires in Los Angeles have killed at least 10 people and destroyed nearly 10,000 structures, with the Palisades and Eaton Fires being the most destructive in the city’s history, consuming over 34,000 acres. President Biden declared a major disaster, promising federal aid for recovery efforts, while local officials face criticism for handling the crisis. Five major fires remain active, with minimal containment and high winds complicating firefighting efforts.
