0:30Now PlayingThe deadly fires in Los Angeles are forcing tens of thousands more residents from their homes as firefighters struggle to bring the blazes under control.
Almost 180,000 people are under evacuation orders, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said at a briefing Thursday. That’s up from more than 100,000 the day before. The death toll stood at five as of Wednesday, but Luna said it would take time to compile a final count given the massive scale of the destruction.
The evacuations forced many Angelenos to seek refuge in shelters, hotel rooms, second homes or on the couch with friends and relatives. In Hollywood, surreal street scenes played out as masked people dragged their luggage down Fountain Avenue. Some residents walked their dogs on Santa Monica Boulevard just like any other evening while others frantically tried to leave the area.
