Los Angeles is reeling from the most destructive wildfires in its history, and firefighters are struggling to contain the devastating blaze.

Nonprofit groups are working to distribute essential supplies to those impacted by the fires across the Los Angeles area.

In 2019, the number of homeowners’ policies in California that were not renewed jumped by more than thirty per cent. In 2023, two giant insurers, State Farm and Allstate, announced that they would stop writing new policies for various forms of property insurance in California.

The out-of-control fires ripping across Los Angeles cap years of criticism of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s water management and wildfire mitigation policies that are set to face the wrath of the incoming Trump administration.

After President-elect Donald Trump blamed Gov. Gavin Newsom for the Los Angeles County wildfires, the California leader invited the incoming president to travel to the state to meet with victims and survey the damage.
