Wildfires in California continue to wreak havoc, with the Post Fire in Los Angeles County consuming nearly 15,000 acres and forcing the evacuation of 1,200 people from Hungry Valley State Park. In Northern California, the Point Fire in Sonoma County has burned over 1,000 acres, prompting evacuation orders as structures were destroyed. Firefighters are battling the blazes, aided by aircraft and ground crews, but high winds and dry conditions are fueling the flames. Residents in affected areas are urged to be prepared for potential evacuation as the fires remain largely uncontained.
