The Eaton Fire in Pasadena, California, has forced evacuations in the city of 150,000 as it spreads rapidly through the Angeles National Forest. This comes amid another major wildfire in Pacific Palisades, which has caused over 30,000 evacuations. Strong Santa Ana winds are fueling both fires,
complicating firefighting efforts. Mandatory evacuations have been issued in Santa Monica, and resources are stretched thin. Governor Newsom declared a state of emergency, with President Biden offering federal assistance.
