Over 4,000 homes and vehicles have been destroyed in the Altadena neighborhood, following the massive fires raging in the Los Angeles area. This is stated by the rescue chief in Los Angeles, Anthony Marrone. Thousands more buildings have burned down in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.

US President Joe Biden said in a speech on Thursday evening that the fires show that climate change is “real”.

“This is the most widespread, devastating fire in California history,” Biden said.
