Blaze breaks out in Hollywood Hills, as LA wildfires kill atleast 5

We're doing anything and everything, and as long as it takes to contain these fires,

Biden earlier told reporters

There is no time to delay,

Margaret Stewart of LAFD said

We have lost practically everything; the flames have consumed all our dreams,

he told AFP

Our death count today would be significantly higher without their heroic actions,

Augustin told reporters

The winds are the driver, but the real catalyst... is this incredible antecedent dryness,

he said

I am super nervous, scared because of everything that has happened in the other places,

she said

We're doing the very best we can. But no, we don't have enough fire personnel in LA County between all the departments to handle this,

he said

The county turned off our water supply so we're out there with shovels throwing dirt on fires,

he told AFP

It's probably climate change affecting everything,

said shop owner Debbie Collins

Hopefully the insurance can pay for most of it, if not, then we're going to have to stay with friends or someone,

he said

My son left the house before us on foot, he doesn't have a cell phone or anything like that, so I'm searching for him now,

he said

Heartbroken beyond words, ... Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience.”

The smoke is a toxic soup,

Brian Rice, president of the statewide California Professional Firefighters union said on Wednesday, imploring tourists to stay out of the vicinity

After returning this evening from Los Angeles, where earlier today he had met with police, fire and emergency personnel fighting the historic fires raging in the area and approved a Major Disaster declaration for California, President Biden made the decision to cancel his upcoming trip to Italy to remain focused on directing the full federal response in the days ahead,

she said in a statement

I can tell you we’re throwing all of our available resources at it as we speak,

she added

I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA,
