Palisades Fire live updates: Wildfires spread in Los Angeles, prompting mandatory evacuations, as Santa Ana winds expected to intensify
The Los Angeles Fire Department issued a mandatory evacuation order for people in the vicinity of the fire.

Fueled by strong Santa Ana winds gusting to 80 miles per hour, low humidity and ongoing drought conditions, wildfires erupted Tuesday in Southern California, threatening homes in Pacific Palisades.

The Palisades Fire sprang to life Tuesday morning in the hills north of Malibu, leading officials to issue evacuation orders for thousands of residents.

"In preparation for high winds, LAFD pre-deployed strike teams in and near areas prone to wildfire," Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a message posted to social media. "Firefighters are now actively and aggressively responding to the #PalisadesFire with support from regional partners. Angelenos in the area are urged to heed evacuation warnings."

The National Weather Service has upgraded the wildfire risk to much of the Los Angeles area to "extremely critical," the most serious designation, through Wednesday morning.

It's been bone dry in the Southwest and across Southern CA for the last few months (no winter rain to date)....80 mph winds in these conditions will be very bad news.

All three major fires are far from me, but one friend's family has evacuated out of caution [winds typically blow things toward the ocean and they're on the inland edge]. Smoke in the air everywhere, an orange sunrise, and occasional dustings of ash from the sky -- similar to what I've experienced in past Malibu fires (very near Palisades).

He's offering discounted course fees at Trump International in Rancho Palos Verdes to people displaced from their tee times at the Riviera Country Club.

Please don't cherry pick and take his words out of context. Please also show many of the rest of what President-elect Donald Trump has posted and also said in news conferences regarding the really stupid California policies about the annual series of wildfires in California.

It's all equally misguided and peppered with his vile nickname for our governor. HIs pointless railing about how much water is or isn't sent from Northern California to Southern California has no bearing on this situation. Nor can he make fresh water "FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA" unless he's going to renegotiate the Colorado River deal to screw the other states. Everyone's eyes can determine that his complaints about the lack of firefighting aircraft are simply false. The only saving grace is he hasn't brought up raking the forests again.

Why is it a great idea to not do whatever is necessary to clean up as much dead brush, wood, weeds, tree branches and other dead stuff on the grounds of California forests? Why is it a good idea to allow lots and lots and lots and lots of kindling on the grounds of your state's forests?

It's all about owning Trump. If Trump says it's good, then it's really bad. Hope California plans ahead and saves some money for the next few years.

You can't put out fires with salt water?

But hey, president Biden is really showing leadership. He says the good news is that his son's house didn't burn and he's going to be a great grandfather.
I'm sure the people who lost everything are relieved

BTW this is not satire, that's what he actually said

You can, but that raises the possibility that nothing will grow there for years, perhaps decades. Then it will be years of mudslides.

Turns out it also damages equipment.

Can You Put Out a Fire with Seawater? Does it Work? -

With the wildfire crisis becoming increasingly dangerous, resourcefulness has become crucial. Freshwater is a renewable resource but can become scarce in times of disaster. Using saltwater from the sea or ocean seems like an easy enough solution, so why aren’t firefighters using seawater to put...

Also, Encino Reservoir and Stone Canyon Reservoir are not that much farther away than the ocean for Pacific Palisades. For the other fires fresh water lakes are closer than the ocean.

Having a great grand son isn't good news?

You're right, this thread is not satire.
It's sickening how some will spin a man's comments about a new born into something else.

The fact is, the Federal government has and is offering support to the State of California.

Actually, it seems that at this point scooper planes are using ocean water.

Okay but I think technology exists to purify salt water
