• Affluent neighborhoods in Los Angeles have suffered three days of intense fires, resulting in five deaths, over 11,000 hectares and 2,000 homes destroyed, and 180,000 people evacuated.
• Winds, blowing at speeds beyond 150 km/h, have exacerbated these fires and the firefighters' ability to contain them.
• President, Joe Biden, declared Los Angeles a disaster zone to mobilize maximum federal aid.
• President-elect, Donald Trump, has attempted to use the disaster to criticize California Governor Gavin Newsom's management and deflect from climate change.
