The Sunset Fire in Los Angeles, one of six major wildfires in the region, erupted in the Hollywood Hills, threatening landmarks like the Hollywood Bowl and Walk of Fame. Fueled by strong Santa Ana winds, the fire quickly spread across 50 acres, straining emergency responders already limited by prior windstorms.
Evacuations in densely populated areas caused traffic chaos, with residents fearing for their homes. This fire adds to the devastation of other wildfires, including the Palisades and Eaton Fires, which have claimed lives and destroyed thousands of acres.
The California National Guard has joined firefighting efforts as the community demonstrates resilience amid the crisis.
