AI Summary:
More than 30,000 people evacuated on Tuesday as high winds helped a brush fire surge into the coastal Pacific Palisades neighbourhood. Further blazes later saw other areas around southern California come under threat. Frightened residents abandoned their cars on one of the only roads in and out of the upscale area, fleeing on foot from the blaze engulfing an area packed with multimillion-dollar homes in the Santa Monica Mountains. Hundreds of firefighters swarmed the area, attacking the blaze from the ground and the air, while crews worked through steep terrain to cut back vegetation and create firebreaks. Almost 100 elderly residents from a nursing home were evacuated in the city, according to CBS News.

Nar shouldnt have been cutting fire service budget and not allowing them to perform controlled burns.
Why pay for fire services when you can instead employ prison slave labor?
