A new map has shown the enormous scale of the Palisades Fire raging in Los Angeles, as firefighters battle to contain what has become the most destructive wildfire in the city’s history. The fire broke out on Tuesday in the affluent Pacific Palisades neighborhood, destroying 1,000 structures and forcing at least 30,000 residents to evacuate. An image published by the BBC on Wednesday showed the fire superimposed to maps of New York and London.
The mapping was based on the fire burning 2,900 acres, but it has since grown to 5,000 acres and is 0% contained.
