  • The Pacific Palisades brush fire, combined with high winds from what the national weather service has called a 'windstorm' has put Los Angeles County in 'Tactical Alert'.

The article from MSN discusses the impact of the Santa Ana winds in Los Angeles, which have led to significant fire outbreaks, including the Post Fire in Gorman, California, that has consumed over 3,600 acres. These conditions have prompted evacuations, with the Los Angeles County Fire Department issuing a tactical alert.

The situation has been exacerbated by the dry, hot weather, leading to increased fire risk and challenges for firefighting efforts.
