New aerial footage shows the wildfires in California spreading as firefighters struggle to contain the deadly blazes encroaching on Los Angeles. The Palisades and the Eaton fires continued to advance as winds picked up, making it difficult for teams to contain the flames destroying homes and businesses and forcing thousands to flee. At least 16 people have been killed, many of them older residents who refused to abandon their homes. The state governor, Gavin Newsom, welcomed firefighters from Mexico, who arrived to reinforce the teams on the ground that have been battling the blazes around the clock
