Firefighters in California are battling three major wildfires in the mountains east of Los Angeles, with cooler weather providing some relief as they work to gain control. However, the fires have already destroyed dozens of homes and forced thousands of people to evacuate.
California is experiencing a significant increase in wildfire activity, with nearly three times as much acreage burned already compared to all of last year. The wildfires, fueled by a recent heatwave, have posed a threat to tens of thousands of homes and structures across Southern California.
