4 things you may not know about the Los Angeles wildfires

1. Home of Vice President Harris among those located in evacuation zone

Vice President Kamala Harris’ home in Southern California was threatened by the Palisades Fire as it exploded to over 3,000 acres by Wednesday morning.

Harris’ home is located in the eastern part of the evacuation zone for the fire raging along the coastline just outside Los Angeles, according to NBC News.

In a White House statement Thursday, Harris described herself as a “proud daughter of California” and said she and second gentleman Doug Emhoff are “praying for our fellow Californians who have evacuated.”

“Doug and I are praying for our fellow Californians who have evacuated, and we are thinking of the families whose homes, businesses, and schools remain in harm’s way,” the vice president said. “We are deeply grateful for the heroic first responders who are risking their own safety to fight the flames and help keep communities safe.”

The Biden administration is committed to helping the victims and the state, Harris added.
