Los Angeles officials brace for more strong winds

(Al Jazeera Media Network) Officials are warning that more strong winds in the forecast for southern California could fuel devastating wildfires still burning in and around Los Angeles.

Authorities say progress is being made to contain the major Palisades and Eaton fires, but LA County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone tells residents to be ready to heed any possible evacuation orders.

The blazes have killed at least 24 people in what California Governor Gavin Newsom says could be the most devastating natural disaster in United States history.

Donald Trump has sharpened his criticism of California’s handling of the wildfires as Newsom urged the US president-elect to witness the damage in person.
