California is currently battling multiple wildfires, particularly the Eaton and Palisades fires, with at least 25 fatalities confirmed. The Eaton Fire is 45% contained, having destroyed about 7,000 structures. About 88,000 residents are under mandatory evacuation orders. Evacuation warnings affect an additional 84,000. Critical fire weather persists as strong winds exacerbate the situation. Two individuals were arrested for arson in separate incidents. In response to the crisis, Governor Newsom issued an executive order against predatory practices targeting firestorm victims.
