The Los Angeles water chief has been given a police security detail amid "threats" against her and water employees over the response to wildfires.

Two wildfires still burning in Los Angeles have torched more urban area than any other fire in the state since at least the mid-1980s.

About 1,600 policies for Pacific Palisades homeowners were dropped by State Farm in July, the state insurance office says.

Inmate firefighters responding to the ongoing Los Angeles fires and working 24-hour shifts are earning $26.90 per day, according to the California Dept. of Corrections.

The wildfires in the Los Angeles area have destroyed thousands of structures, many of them homes, and firefighters continue to battle the infernos. Parts of Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Pasadena and other California communities are now unrecognizable.

The scale of the effort will be vast — the area scorched by the major fires is equal to three times the size of Manhattan.

Those looking to assist residents affected by the Los Angeles County firestorm have a number of options to donate money, materials or their time.

Lawmakers from across California announced new legislative proposals Thursday intended to speed up rebuilding and recovery efforts in Los Angeles County as thousands remain evacuated from their homes.

Meteorologists said there was a chance the winds would be as severe as those that fueled the Palisades and Eaton fires, but that different locations would likely be affected.

Former and current LAFD members also blasted Crowley for letting over 125 senior commanders retire under her watch, creating a crippling power void across the city’s different firehouses.
