@pbsnews: “The Pacific Palisades are gone,” Los Angeles councilwoman Traci Park, who represents the Pacific Palisades, told PBS News’ Stephanie Sy. Thousands of firefighters have been battling the wildfires raging through the Los Angeles area with devastating force and have been exacerbated by historically strong winds. The Palisades fire is officially the most destructive in the city's history. PBS News’ Stephanie Sy reports from the area and shares what she learned about the struggles that residents are facing now from lack of fire insurance, dangerous air pollution, and unusable water, to a lack of resources available for rebuilding. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #wildfire #california #losangeles #la #ca #californiawildfire #fire #naturaldisaster #evacuation #communities #palisade
