The biggest fire, the Palisades Fire, entire streets engulfed. One firefighter with a hose trained at the front door, though every home there on fire. Some 40 miles away, the Eaton Fire in Pasadena. The Pasadena Preschool Academy on fire. The residents at this senior living facility, the terraces at Park Marino, rushed out of their bedrooms, wearing masks to protect them from the air.

They were rescued. A heroic effort by the L.A. Fire Department and emergency response teams across the region tonight. They are saving lives amidst the horror. The scope of the loss here, though, is unimaginable.

The sun blow in the sky over Los Angeles, reflecting a new reality for this city. shining through the heavy smoke as some of the most destructive wildfires in the history of Los Angeles rage on tonight.

And it's not just the neighborhoods where you see home after home. This used to be the grocery store right here. completely hollowed out. And then over my shoulder here, if you look right up, you can see nothing left but the tattered American flag there, covered in soot and torn, but still hanging.
