"As beleaguered Southern California firefighters confronted yet another new brush fire on Wednesday morning, LAFD Chief Ralph Terrazas said his crews are exhausted.
"We're in the middle of a weeklong red flag condition. We're not done," Terrazas said. "My firefighters have been working since Sunday. Our people are getting tired."
Los Angeles firefighters have been deployed since Sunday, Terrazas said, in preparation for a period of critical fire weather. Santa Ana winds are gusting and humidity is low, making prime conditions for a spark to spread flames quickly, far and wide.
"With winds like these, it can be anything," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said."
