The two largest fires burning in Los Angeles remained “zero percent” contained, despite a vast firefighting operation, local officials warn.
A 17,000-acre (6,900-hectare) blaze in Pacific Palisades has become “one of the most destructive natural disasters in the history of Los Angeles,” says city fire chief Kristin Crowley, while a 10,000-acre fire in Altadena was also at “zero percent containment,” says county fire chief Anthony Marrone.
