Firefighters are battling to maintain the upper hand on a huge and rapidly moving wildfire that swept through rugged mountains north of Los Angeles. The blaze that broke out Wednesday resulted in more than 50,000 people being put under evacuation orders or warnings. In less than a day, it had charred nearly 16 square miles of trees and brush. To the south, Los Angeles officials began to prepare for potential rain even as some residents were allowed to return to the charred Pacific Palisades and Altadena areas. https://www.voanews.com/a/new-wildfire-erupts-in-southern-california-/7947166.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in nearly 50 languages to an estimated weekly audience of more than 354 million people.
