The death toll from wildfires in California continues to rise, with officials confirming at least 11 fatalities in Southern California. As the fires rage on, a new blaze has broken out, adding to the devastation. The firefighters battling the flames were granted a temporary reprieve as the fierce Santa Ana winds calmed down, but they are expected to pick up strength again.
One community hit hard by the wildfires is Altadena, where over 7,000 structures have been lost. Despite the destruction, residents have banded together to support one another in the face of adversity.
The catastrophic wildfires have caused widespread devastation in California, with homes destroyed and lives lost. NBC News’ Tom Llamas and Gadi Schwartz have been on the ground reporting the latest updates on the situation.
As the fires continue to burn and the death toll climbs, the brave firefighters and first responders are working tirelessly to contain the flames and protect the residents of California. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the wildfires raging across the state.

Ever heard of fire proof material to cover an entire house? Ever heard of wind breaks between houses?
Warmest year recorder on planet earth? Wow we must have accurate data from 4 billion years ago!
Civilian drone strike?
Makes you wonder why everyone didn't turn on their sprinklers? I knew a guy that lives in a area that has frequent wild fires. He has big sprinklers permanently mounted on his roof. Any time there was a fire he turned them on. Everyone else would always have fire damage or loose a home. His always stood with no issues.
Please remember the people in Palistine and gaza.
They lost their homes over 76 years of occupation and war.
At least you guys are safe, and family members are still alive, but in gaza over 75000 people has been killed mostly children.
My heart goes out to the 11 people who lost their lives because of this wildfire. May they rest peacefully.
CALLING ON ALL THE HIGHER POWERS TO PLZ HELP STOP THE FIRES STOP WINDS SAVE HOMES AND ANIMALS .GIVING STRENGHT AND PERSEVERANCE TO THE FIRE FIGHTERS .ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HELPING TOO ❤❤❤

The comment section is mostly of dumpster fire right now.
4:14…Fire Chief Kristin Crowley’s claim that a modest budget cut to firefighting personnel is to blame is disgraceful and reeks of politics. This is no time for bargaining. Shameful.👎🏾
That police chief isn’t gonna last long now. Criticize on national tv! Whoa!
More important news than Democrats burning down Los Angeles… McDonald's is bringing back the McRib sandwich for a limited time…
a civilian drone did that to a plane
This is like the wildfires in Hawaii.
No point rebuilding unless there gonna finally use bricks & mortar. Notice how brick fireplaces are still standing
insurance co. are not going to be able cover this they will go bankrupt.
Back in the day, the whole village would use buckets and put out the fire. The oddest thing in the world is that, those who fought with the help of a few firefighters spread around, was able to stop the Armageddon. There are ways to compile the video footage to show the absence of firefighters, but even if you didn’t have tankers, you had personal. Why wasn’t everyone using the hoses from all the freaking houses in a strategic way to battle the fire has no one analyzed how to do this the old-fashioned way? Wouldn’t it be nice to make strategies like this in your neighborhoods going forward?

Has Netenyahu sent aid?
Fact: at 100 mph winds, this fire was uncontrollable.
These wildfire events were imminent because people have been ignoring climate change
I think we all need to stop and reflect! There will be a time to find accountability, but for now, everyone needs to band together and help each other. That is the true American thing to do. Not the posturing or the negative insight. Let's go America you got this!
Resign Newsome nowww…..
Once again corporate media fails to acknowledge the airplane struck was from Canada.
Children of Gaza says hi
1:30……."Why are you doing this"?
Maybe early candidate for dumbest question of 2025. SMH
Can we ban recreational drones please? FFS
a taste of gaza? w/o the death toll
I think they could cut down the trees around the houses.
social media bros taking out planes😶
The mayor really needs to reflect on why they thought to cut the fire department’s budget and not something else.
So there are still fires now ?
We need at least 50 canaries to be operational here in Southern California
There is a tradegy underway in our nation, now is not the time to sew division but work together to sove the problem. Why we don't have a squadron or many of water tanker drop planes, is a mystery.
