The blaze has forced the evacuation of more than 130,000 people and spread to the hills above Hollywood Boulevard. As firefighters battled five separate blazes, the White House announced that Joe Biden had cancelled his final overseas trip of his presidency, to Italy, to focus on directing the federal response to the fires. Timelapse footage taken from the surrounding mountains shows the speed at which the flames have spread because of high winds.
