The five fronts of the fire at least 10 dead, 10,000 damaged buildings, 180,000 evacuations, $150 billion damage… These are the main figures that allow one to assess the extent of the disaster from the fires raging from Tuesday on the outskirts of Los Angeles. The U.S. megapolis is faced with 5 different fronts, which have not yet joined together. What has taken the largest area (81 square kilometers), is the Palisades Fire fire, northwest of the second largest city in the USA. The flames “suppress” the rich Pacific Palisades district, between Malibu and Santa Monica, burning the multimillion-dollar and famous villas. The second front (55 square kilometers), Eaton Fire, sweeps Altadina, a suburb to the east of Los Angeles. These two fires remain uncontrollable, according to the Los Angeles fire department (Cal Fire). Three smaller fronts, the Kenneth Fire (4 sq km), Hurst Fire (3 sq km) and Lydia Fire (1.6 sq km), are under partial control, having been reduced respectively by 35%, 37% and 75%. Instead, three small hobs, Sunset Fire, Woodley Fire, and Olivas Fire, were put under control by fire forces. In total, fires have already burned nearly 145,000 acres, or 145 square kilometers. Compared to other Californian fires in recent years, having expanded to some cases to many thousands of square kilometers, the current fronts are relatively less extensive. Their specificity consists of the number of victims who have caused and the magnitude of the disaster, as they are found in residential areas. So far, at least 10 people have lost their lives, as the Los Angeles County coroner announced last night. At least two people died in Palisades Fire and at least five in Eaton Fire, according to firefighters. If on one of these fronts there were 6 dead, then this front would be ranked among the 20 most deadly in California history, according to California fire elements, which distinguishes each front of the fire. At least 10,000 houses and buildings have already been converted into ash, of which 5,000 from the Palisades Fire fire and between 4,000 and 5,000 in Eaton Fire, according to Los Angeles County firefighters. These two fronts are already the two most devastating in Los Angeles County history. At California state level, it is respectively the third and fourth most devastating fire in history, after Camp Fire, which burned nearly 19,000 buildings north of Sacramento in November 2018 and Tubbs Fire, which destroyed 5,600 buildings north of San Francisco in October 2017. About 180,000 people were invited to leave their districts. Authorities appeal to citizens to obey evacuation orders, as some residents try to stay in their homes to save their property. The Hollywood district, threatened at some point by Sunset Fire, was also evacuated, but the order came Thursday morning (09.01.2024), with the fire on its hills under control. The neighborhoods affected by the flames are faced with another danger: looting. With the destruction of luxury houses, fires could be the most costly ever recorded. The AccuWeather weather service estimates that the amount of damage amounts to between $135 and $150 billion. An account that could be further increased.
