The Palisades fire in Los Angeles, known as the 'Perfect Storm' created by dry air, low rainfall, and Santa Ana winds, continues to spread, burning approximately 1,000 buildings and homes. The Palisades area has about 10,000 buildings and homes, and officials have mentioned that the actual damage could exceed 3,000 buildings, resulting in a much more destructive outcome.

This Palisades fire was first reported around 10:30 AM on Tuesday in the 1100 block of North Piedra Morada Drive. Within just one day, by Wednesday evening, the fire had spread to 15,832 acres, and without containment measures, homes along the Malibu coast and Santa Monica Mountains continue to burn.

Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone stated, "Many who did not evacuate have suffered serious injuries." This highlights the rapid spread of the fire and the difficulties in responding, causing significant shock to the community.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who was in West Africa for diplomatic events when the Palisades and Eaton fires broke out, returned on Wednesday to hold urgent meetings with California Governor Gavin Newsom, city and county leaders, and incident commanders. Mayor Bass praised the efforts of emergency responders and urged Los Angeles residents to be resilient.

The National Weather Service has predicted winds of up to 60 miles per hour (about 96 kilometers per hour) to continue through Thursday, which could complicate firefighting efforts.

Alberto Carvalho, superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, announced that all LAUSD schools would be closed on Thursday, and schools in the Malibu, Santa Monica, and Pasadena districts also decided to close. The Palisades fire is recorded as the most destructive fire in Los Angeles history, destroying 1,000 buildings and homes within 24 hours. The previous record was the Sayre Fire in Sylmar in November 2008, which damaged 604 buildings and homes.

Currently, evacuation orders have been issued for the entire Pacific Palisades area, extending to parts of Malibu along the coast. Additionally, warnings and evacuation orders for the Santa Monica and Calabasas areas are affecting hundreds of thousands of homes and local businesses. Authorities are urging residents to evacuate quickly to safe areas and are mobilizing additional support and resources to combat the fire.

Los Angeles fire authorities and local government are doing their best to prevent further spread of the fire, but the situation is continuously changing, and officials are working to quickly relay the latest information to residents.
