Los Angeles wildfire reaches Hollywood

Raging wildfires surrounding Los Angeles spread to Hollywood Hills on Wednesday. The development came after other fires in the area killed at least five people, destroyed hundreds of homes and stretched firefighting resources and water supplies to the limit.

Around one lakh people were ordered to evacuate as dry, hurricane-force winds hindered firefighting operations and spread the fires.

A new fire broke out in the parched Hollywood Hills on Wednesday evening, Fire Chief Kristin Crowley told a press conference, forcing more evacuations and raising the number of wildfires burning in Los Angeles County to at least six.

People within Hollywood Boulevard to the South and Mulholland Drive to the North have been asked to evacuate the place.

Most of these addresses are of key locations linked to the entertainment industry.
