A severe series of wildfires in the Los Angeles area has resulted in evacuation orders affecting more than 153,000 individuals as of Saturday, announced Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna at a press briefing.

Additionally, evacuation alerts have been issued for another 166,000 residents who should remain ready to leave. Over 57,000 buildings are currently at risk, and approximately 38,000 acres have burned due to the fires, notably the Palisades Fire, which is the most devastating in the history of Los Angeles.

Weather experts have cautioned that strong winds could exacerbate the situation leading into the upcoming week.

Alana Alejo, a Target security guard who has been in LA since 2007, evacuated her residence in the Encino area on Friday. She mentioned that she chose to leave ahead of any evacuation order after noticing ashes in the air. She took valuable items, her agitated pet hamster, and an emergency food stash she had assembled for such emergencies.

“I was panicking while trying to keep calm,” Alejo expressed to YSL News Friday evening outside the Lanark Recreation Center, designated as an evacuation site. “It’s incredibly distressing to witness this. Many of my friends have lost everything, their homes reduced to rubble. This situation is very serious.”
