According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the Los Angeles fires have covered an area larger than Lichtenstein. The territory of Liechtenstein is 160 km².
Los Angeles issued mandatory evacuation notices for tens of thousands of residents.
The district's fire chief previously acknowledged that resources were limited to fighting 1-2 large fires, exacerbated by high winds that temporarily disrupted aviation and fire hydrants in the Palisades area.
