US-WEATHER-FIRE

Scorched cars and burned-out homes destroyed by the Palisades Fire are seen along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California on January 10, 2025. Massive wildfires that engulfed whole neighborhoods and displaced thousands in Los Angeles have killed at least 10 people, authorities said, as California's National Guard soldiers readied to hit the streets to help quell disorder. News of the growing toll, announced late Thursday January 9 by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, came as swaths of the United States' second-largest city lay in ruins.
