As strong winds in Southern California contribute to the spread of a major wildfire, tools from NASA, Esri, and others help residents and first responders monitor the situation. On Tuesday, a wildfire broke out in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles,

Evacuation orders were initially issued for one zone, but several more were quickly ordered to flee as firefighters worked to contain the blaze.

Five people have died, but officials say the death toll is likely to be higher. More than 2,000 structures have burned and at least 130,000 residents are under evacuation orders. Experts say L.A. is not out of danger yet and these fires have the potential to be the costliest wildfire disaster

Firefighters on Jan. 7 battled the raging flames of the Eaton Fire in Pasadena, California, where homes were burned to their bare skeletal structures.

Several homes in the area have burned, but the neighborhood’s famous trees, decorated each year for the holidays, did not appear to be ablaze at mid-day.
