A curfew is in place at night in the areas affected by the huge wildfires in Los Angeles. The police say anyone caught looting will be arrested immediately. The curfew covers Pacific Palisades and Eaton Fire.
The fires have already killed at least 10 people. Around 10,000 homes and other buildings have burned down. Strong winds are expected to keep blowing. This could make the fires spread even more. The danger is so high that a red flag warning is in effect.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris talked about how the federal government is responding to the fires. They gave an update on Friday afternoon. President Biden said the fires in Los Angeles are "truly unprecedented." He shared some good news, too. Firefighters from the local, state, and federal levels worked together overnight. They were able to stop some of the fires from getting bigger. But the winds will still be a problem until early next week.
President Biden promised, "We're going to make sure California has every possible resource to fight this fire and survive it. "
Vice President Harris said the whole country is seeing "mass devastation." She expects the damage to last a very long time and affect many generations. But she also pointed out the bravery of the people fighting the fires. "There are moments where we should find optimism in the heroism of people," she said.
