A fresh Los Angeles wildfire that ignited in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday night is threatening homes and iconic L.A. landmarks, and it’s prompted authorities to issue expanding evacuation orders.

The rapidly growing Sunset Fire that’s threatening Hollywood landmarks along with homes was one of multiple fires burning out of control across Los Angeles County into Thursday morning.

Five deaths were confirmed in one of the blazes which have razed at least 2,000 structures, including the homes of Hollywood actor Billy Crystal and media personality Paris Hilton, and forced tens of thousands of residents to evacuate.

      Has anyone tried explaining to the fire that climate change is just part of the radical, dangerous leftist agenda? Ooh, no, wait - Show it all the carbon offset credits we’ve got! Cuz those aren’t like the ‘thoughts and prayers’ of climate change policy or anything, and the fire will totally be like, “My bad fam, I didn’t realize”
