President Trump surveyed destruction in Pacific Palisades by air and on foot during his visit to Los Angeles County on Friday afternoon, but he did not visit the ravaged community of Altadena.

President Trump landed in Los Angeles Friday afternoon to tour damage from the devastating Palisades Fire, one of two deadly wildfires fires this month, greeting Gov. Gavin Newsom who was waiting at the bottom of the steps to Air Force One.

Palisades Fire initially started 10:30 a.m. Jan. 7 in Los Angeles County. It has burned 23,448 acres after being active for 17 days. A crew of 2,420 firefighters has been working on site and they managed to contain 77% of the fire by Friday morning. The blaze's cause remains under investigation.

The two largest fires, the Palisades Fire in Pacific Palisades and the Eaton Fire near Pasadena, remain active. One of the latest, the Hughes Fire in the Castaic area, has prompted evacuation orders for tens of thousands of people.

The fires are still not fully contained and have killed 28 people and damaged or destroyed nearly 16,000 structures.

The National Weather Service issued a flood watch effective from 4 p.m. Sunday to 4 p.m. Monday for areas in or near burn scars created by the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, Hughes Fire and Bridge Fire, the latter blaze of which burned 56,000 acres last fall.

California firefighters could make more headway in containing three major wildfires burning in and around Los Angeles on Friday, as the latest round of blistering winds calm and the area's first rainfall in months arrives over the weekend.

Reality TV stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag sued the city of Los Angeles this week, claiming mishandling of the water utility made the fire that destroyed their home and the Pacific Palisades neighborhood "inescapable.

A strange course of action, to say the least. The post Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag Suing City of Los Angeles After Losing Home in Wildfires appeared first on Reality Tea.
