Hollywood Hills Fire Kills 5, Leaves Many More Needing Evacuation

A fast-moving fire has been reported in Hollywood Hills on Wednesday night, threatening one of Los Angeles’ most iconic spots as firefighters battled to get under control three other major blazes that have so far killed five people, put 130,000 people under evacuation orders and ravaged communities from the Pacific Coast to inland Pasadena.

The Sunset Fire was burning near the Hollywood Bowl and about 1.6 kilometers from the popular Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The streets around Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and Madame Tussauds were packed with stop-and-go traffic as sirens blared and low-flying helicopters soared by on their way to dump water on the flames.

Several schools in the area were either damaged or destroyed, including Palisades Charter High School, which has been featured in many Hollywood productions, including the 1976 horror movie “Carrie” and the TV series “Teen Wolf,”

Nearly 1,900 structures have been destroyed in the Eaton and Palisades fires, and the number is expected to increase.

Donald Trump Reiterates Plan to Acquire Greenland

President-elect DONALD TRUMP has reiterated his appetite for the ownership of Greenland for economic security of the United States.

In the wake of his father’s contentious remarks, DONALD TRUMP JUNIOR made a trip to Greenland. The trip has fueled speculation about what exactly his father’s plans are for this Arctic territory.

While reiterating his desire for the Greenland, DONALD TRUMP, the President-elect of the United States, said nobody knows if Denmark have any right title or interest.

Washington has made previous attempts to assert control over Greenland. Back in 1946, U.S. officials proposed a staggering offer of 100 million dollars in gold bars to Denmark for ownership of the largest island on the planet.

Both Danish and Greenlandic officials maintain that, much like the previous attempt that failed, a similar initiative is unlikely to succeed at this time.
