The Sunset Fire is the latest blaze to ravage Los Angeles. The fire, which began near Runyon Canyon on top of the Hollywood Hills, has burnt more than 60 acres of land. A mandatory evacuation order is in effect.

U.S. President Joe Biden said at a White House briefing Thursday afternoon that federal resources and additional funding have been made available to California to fight the wildfires that he described as the "worst fires to ever hit Los Angeles."

Nearly 800 prison inmates have been temporarily freed to assist firefighters in controlling the deadly Southern California wildfires that have burned with no end in sight since Tuesday. Those inmates are part of a minimum-security Conservation Camp Program consisting of 35 “fire camps” spread throughout California.
