The LA Fire Department evacuated Hollywood Boulevard forcing 100,000 locals to flee after two new fires erupted overnight in the Hollywood Hills and Studio City.

President-elect Donald Trump blamed President Biden and Governor Newsom for the disaster and the lack of resources available for firefighters.
“As of this moment, Gavin Newscum and his Los Angeles crew have contained exactly ZERO percent of the fire,” he posted on Truth Social.
“No water in the fire hydrants, no money in FEMA. This is what Joe Biden is leaving me.”
