Firefighters deploy as strong winds threaten more LA neighborhoods
SUMMARY: Southern California is battling destructive wildfires, with strong winds exacerbating the danger. Over 20 million people are at risk, especially in areas like Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley. Winds, expected to reach near hurricane-force, could spread fires quickly, and more than 60 square miles have already burned. The death toll has reached at least 24, with many still missing. Emergency crews are working around the clock, while officials advise residents in high-risk areas to evacuate immediately. Amid the crisis, celebrities have pledged donations, though looting and scams have become a concern. The financial damage could exceed $250 billion.
