BREAKING:

Feb. 18 SJP protest

In an 8 a.m. press conference, Los Angeles City Mayor Karen Bass said progress has been made against “unprecedented” fires in the last 24 hours. She added that she appreciates the federal support LA has received from President Joe Biden and the state support it has received from Governor Gavin Newsom.

“For much of Tuesday, the unprecedented winds prevented air operations to continue,” Bass said. “However, as of yesterday, the winds have allowed for air operations, and that has enabled significant progress against the fires in Hollywood and Studio City last night, and as of 7:30 a.m. this morning, evacuation orders in Hollywood have been lifted.”

However, Bass said the city and county are continuing to confront a major fire. She said she was asking for people across the nation to support the LA Fire Department Foundation and the California Community Foundation Wildlife Recovery Fund.

“A united LA is the way we will recover, is the way we rebuild our communities,” she said.
