Los Angeles Fire Department Captain recently described the current wildfire situation as one of the most extreme she has seen in her 25-year career. The erratic winds have been a significant factor in the rapid spread of the fires, with flames jumping across roads towards the ocean.
The department has set up a command post at Rogers Beach, using the roadside parking lot to coordinate their efforts as they battle the unpredictable blaze. The fire's intensity was evident as it reached the beach, consuming two lifeguard towers in its path.
