Radio is again serving as an invaluable lifeline in the face of natural disaster as multiple wildfires ravage Los Angeles County in California. 140,000 are without power and more than 70,000 people have been evacuated, making radio the sole means of info for many in harm’s way.

The Palisades and Eaton Fires, which erupted Tuesday and were fueled by strong winds into Wednesday, have grown to affect tens of thousands of acres with minimal containment, creating a “ring of fire” around LA. While the true damage is impossible to know at this time, Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said as of Wednesday morning, the wildfires have claimed two lives and damaged over 1,000 structures.
