(Adnkronos) – The fires continue to devastate the outskirts of Los Angeles, overlooked by an acre of whitish smoke: the main fires in the Californian megalopolis remain out of control, which has already recorded at least ten deaths and where military reinforcements will be deployed. In the northwest of the second largest city in the United States, last night it was not yet possible to contain the flames that are devouring the luxurious Pacific Palisades neighborhood, with the villas of multimillionaires and celebrities, located between Malibu and Santa Monica. And this, despite the help of helicopters that can drop water on the fires, thanks to a temporary lull in the winds that fueled the flames. About 180,000 people remain under evacuation orders. Thousands of buildings have been destroyed or damaged and the death toll has risen to at least 10, authorities announced last night.
