Invitation to Witness Los Angeles Wildfires: California Governor Urges Trump Not to Politicize

The wildfire in Los Angeles, California, USA, has been raging since the 7th, burning over 34,000 acres of land and causing at least 11 deaths.

The latest fire situation report released by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection on the 10th shows that currently, there are six wildfires burning simultaneously in Los Angeles County and Ventura County, with more than 4,600 firefighters battling the blaze.

The "Palisades Fire" in Los Angeles County is the largest in scale. On the morning of the 7th, the "Palisades Fire" ignited in the Pacific Palisades area and by the 10th had spread to 20,438 acres, with 8% containment. Over 5,000 buildings were damaged, and 11,471 structures were threatened by the fire.

The "Eaton Fire" in Los Angeles County currently accounts for the most severe losses. On the afternoon of the 7th, the "Eaton Fire" ignited in the Altadena and Pasadena areas and by the 10th had spread to 13,690 acres, with 3% containment. A total of 972 buildings were completely destroyed, and 39,428 residential and other structures were threatened by the fire.

The other four fires are located in Los Angeles County and Ventura County.

Authorities have warned that before investigators can enter hazardous communities with fallen power lines and gas leaks, the total number of casualties cannot be fully confirmed.

Additionally, California Governor Newsom released a letter to President-elect Trump on the 10th via X, inviting Trump to visit California and "witness firsthand the destructive power of the fires" and join him in thanking the brave firefighters and first responders. He urged Trump not to "politicize" this human tragedy or spread misinformation.

Trump has recently severely criticized the California Democratic government's disaster relief efforts. However, Newsom stated in the letter that hundreds of thousands of Americans have been "displaced and worried about the future" due to this wildfire, and they should see "our joint efforts to ensure their best interests and to ensure the rapid recovery and rebuilding of the disaster area."
