Five new fires have started in southern California just ahead of US President Trump’s visit. The fires, named Laguna, Sepulveda, Gibbel, Gilman, and Border 2, erupted on Thursday in Los Angeles, San Diego, Ventura, and Riverside counties. Meanwhile, firefighters made progress on the 10,000-acre Hughes Fire in Los Angeles, containing 36% of it. The state has faced devastating fires recently, with over 37,000 acres burned and at least 28 deaths. Trump, critical of California’s fire response, plans to visit on Friday. Local firefighters hope federal aid will be provided to assist communities affected by the fires.
