Deadly wildfires are tearing through Los Angeles, killing at least ten people, displacing thousands, and destroying homes. The Kenneth Fire made headlines after a man was arrested for allegedly starting it, reportedly using a blowtorch to set trash and Christmas trees on fire.
Fueled by 100 mph Santa Ana winds, the blaze has burned over 960 acres and caused power outages for 15,000 homes. Other fires, including Palisade, Eaton, Hurst, and Lidia, have pushed firefighters to their limits.
Communities are struggling with loss, while climate change is blamed for worsening fire seasons. Amid the chaos, stories of bravery and neighborly support show the resilience of Californians facing the crisis.
