Meteorologists said there was a chance the winds would be as severe as those that fueled the Palisades and Eaton fires, but that different locations would likely be affected.

The Santa Ana winds fanning wildfires that have killed at least 25 people in Southern California and destroyed more than 10,000 houses, businesses and other structures in Greater Los Angeles are flaring up again.

In a state that averages more than 7,500 wildfires a year some California homeowners keep helmets and fire hoses handy. However, the Los Angeles fires demonstrate a new reality: Wildfires in the state are growing larger and more ferocious and burning into suburbs and cities more often, experts told USA TODAY.

A new attribution analysis found that climate heating caused by burning fossil fuels significantly increased the likelihood of extreme fire conditions.

As a school committed to sustainability, it is crucial to educate students about the factors that made these fires so devastating.

New studies are finding the fingerprints of climate change in the Eaton and Palisades wildfires, which made some of extreme climate conditions — higher temperatures and drier weather — worse.

There were more than 2,400 personnel assigned to battle the fire. All evacuation warnings were lifted Sunday afternoon, but some mandatory orders remain in place.

A new study finds that the region's extremely dry and hot conditions were about 35 percent more likely because of climate change.

Extreme conditions helped fuel the fast-moving fires that destroyed thousands of homes. Scientists are working to figure out how climate change played a role in the disaster.

Human-caused climate change worsened the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, a new study has found. Fossil fuel burning reduced rainfall, dried out vegetation, and increased the overlap between flammable drought conditions and strong Santa Ana winds,

A quick scientific study finds that human-caused climate change increased the likelihood and intensity of the hot, dry and windy conditions that fanned the flames of the recent devastating Southern California wildfires.
