At least three significant fires are currently spreading throughout Los Angeles County—the Palisades fire, Eaton fire and Hurst fire—aided by an unseasonably dry winter and powerful Santa Ana winds gusting through the region. At least 70,000 Los Angelenos have been ordered to evacuate, according to CNN, with hundreds of thousands losing power as a result of the fires. L.A.'s Wildfire Alliance has already deemed it the most destructive set of wildfires in the city's recorded history.
Local leagues have started to postpone sporting events in and around Los Angeles, with others monitoring the spread and impact of the fires. The NHL's Los Angeles Kings have postponed Wednesday night's game against the Calgary Flames, which was set to begin at 10:30 p.m. ET (7:30 PT). The game has not yet been rescheduled.
