HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The recent wildfires in Los Angeles were intensified by strong Santa Ana winds, which are a unique weather pattern in Southern California.
A fast-moving fire broke out in the Hollywood Hills, threatening one of Los Angeles' most iconic spots as firefighters battled to get three fires under control.
As firefighters continue to battle multiple wildfires throughout southern California, their jobs are again getting more difficult and more dangerous as the Santa Ana winds are growing in strength.
Another potentially dangerous fire broke out Thursday afternoon in West Hills, where evacuation orders were quickly issued, then downgraded hours later.
