As the death toll continues to rise in the devastating Southern California wildfires, officials have confirmed that at least 24 people have lost their lives. The situation is made even more dire as Santa Ana winds are intensifying, making it even more difficult for firefighters to contain the flames.
In addition to the tragic loss of life, over 12,000 structures have been destroyed by the wildfires, leaving many residents without homes. Some individuals are taking extraordinary measures to protect their properties, facing the prospect of losing everything they own.
NBC News reporters Tom Llamas, Gadi Schwartz, and Morgan Chesky are on the ground in the midst of the disaster, providing the latest updates on the situation. The wildfires have engulfed parts of Los Angeles and its surrounding areas, leaving residents in a state of uncertainty and fear.
As the fires continue to rage on, many are left wondering where they will go next and how they will rebuild their lives. The California wildfires have brought devastation and loss to the region, and the battle against the flames is far from over.

Rental market. I'm sure it's a greed paradise
Keep voting bLuE nO mAtTer wHo 😂
There still finding people in NC. Tore apart from the flood shoved into rubble. Sorry about your million dollar homes thou.
Vote again and again for Dems
I pray for all those affected, who have lost loved ones, those displaced and all who have lost homes. It’s heartbreaking. ❤. Please God let it rain.
had the firefighters had the resources and water to fight the fires, I can see charging people with a misd. for not evacuating. But when they know the hydrants are dry and no one is coming to save them, they took things in to their own hands. Can't fault the public for caring when Karen Bass and the leftist politics created this problem
Maybe a better time to clear the brush would have been before the fires?
Cali can thank their politicians for this tragedy, where is all the water to prevent dry lands and fill up the reservoirs???
Dang 😳 it's still burning 😔
All these fire fighters are heroes.
Praying for everyone's safety

God decreed destruction for the cities of Sodom and gomorah the god also destroyed the evil cities of Sodom and gomorah by burning them until they were ashes he made those cities an example for what will come to those who are against god but he saved a lot from those cities a lot of good man was troubled because of the filthy lives of evil people lot was a good man but because he lived with evil people everyday his good heart was hurt by evil things he saw and heard so the lord knows how to save those who serve him when troubles come he will hold evil people and punish them while waiting for the judgement day.
Congrats Nikki Glacer for showing to the whole world how to mock God "Pope-ular"
I have no symathy for the ones who can just immediately rent a home after losing theirs. Meanwhile, a majority of the country struggles to even make rent.
I do not weap for the rich.
Prevent fires are better , it’s. Too late
I know what it feels like to have a fire close to your home. There was a fire burning for two or three weeks towards the end of the summer in Nevada. It got as close as across street from me but then was put to a stop!!! Thank GOD. ❤ GOD Bless you all.
This is horrible !! Be safe !!!
This is heart broken, sorry for your lost
Pobre jente ❤
Wild , where was all this for western nc?

WHY ISN’T DEMENTIA BIDEN DEPLOYING NATIONAL GUARD FOR THIS CRISIS???
Allah protect human life .god bless all Human being. Stay home stay safe .❤❤❤
Are they checking on the homeless in the tunnels?
They are experiencing the sufferings of Gazans

Are we so concerned about this wildfire day after day after day when the people in?
Hurricane Helene are suffering from floodwaters from the cold. They're hungry. They're thirsty. They have no jobs, but yet. We brag about this wildfire everyday everyday. But when Helene hurricane came along thousands of people died, and nobody was concerned about them. Except for this wildfire, there's what 20 to 30 people death, and everybody's hearing about it. What about the people intensity?
Yeah, there's nobody concerned about those people. Children are dying freezing. Children are hungry. We're doing nothing about them. All we can talk about is this freakin fire? That's destroying the rich people who gives a f*** get over it. It's just a fire people can rebuild. What about the people in Tennessee? They have nothing they have no money. But yet we're worried about the rich freaking people.They don't care about other people.Why should we care about them?Stop sending the money?Send it to tennessee

Praying for the residents of Southern California. 🙏🏿
The projected cost of the U.S. Air Force’s program to build a new fleet of nuclear air-launched cruise missiles (ALCMs) has risen to between $14.2 billion and $16.2 billion. Maybe the American government could included firers as a national security threat and spend a few billion dollars on protecting people and infrastructure from this threat. So sorry this has happened. Take care.
Victorville, Heaperia, oakhills, Apple Valley the Inland empire is always open they are building homes and leasing apartments.
Due to climate change no it’s not.
اذي قدره الله الله يمهل لا يهمل حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل توبوا الي الله اتركو غزه بحالها يا كفار هذا عقاب عما عملتم علي غزه
Since the politicians failed, the rich will now privatize fire and police as they should. When society fails, the rich will find a way.
Glad I live in el paso texas😂
They could have done all that maintenance before the fires
Biden's 100% going to fund turned into $770 one time payment for people who had their home burned down. I told everyone he was a liar.
Remember they were giving all these rich snobs money for COVID and PPP loans when they didn't need it😂😂😂
I’ll never understand people who vote with feelings over people who vote with logic liberals have no logic vote Republican if you want things to actually work 😂
The trees didn’t burn ext to these houses that turned to white ash
This is why California is a failed state. You can't tell me I can't check on my house. I'm going to protect my property from fire and looters. How dare you. What does as you say, searching for the bodies of my neighbors, have to do with my house?
they keep lowering the number of victims…. actually it hits 125 victims or more
To all liberals: you can have untold spending on pet projects and destructive social programs while ignoring infrastructure, and non-dammed rivers chock full of steelhead, snails and salmon, all surrounded by woodlands. You can have houses in the hills and connected pieces of civilization. You cannot have both.
Likewise you can have cheaper healthcare, better healthcare, or more healthcare. You cannot have all three. Why don't Democrats understand this failure after failure? The world is a buffet to them. Shift college loans from private banks to the government; prices won't go up. Defund the police to ease tension; crime won't go up. Lower standards for pet racisl groups; failure rates at tougher universities won't go up. Change immigration policy to favor family reunification and this will not skew to poorer and less skilled nations and change our population forever.
They never learn, and the rest of us pay the price. There are no solutions, only trade-offs.
There are "flood zones" where you cannot get a building permit. Well this looks like a "Fire Zone" and building permits should not be given. People in North Carolina are being told they cannot rebuild. Seems the same should be said here.
