Inside the LA wildfires: An Australian prepares to evacuate

Five people have been killed and more than 30,000 people are under evacuation orders as the Los Angeles wildfires continue to rage.

More than 1000 buildings, including many on Sunset Boulevard, and the homes of celebrities, have been destroyed by the out-of-control fires.

The wildfires in the middle of winter have shocked residents and prompted warnings amid the escalating climate crisis that there is now no such thing as a “fire season” in the state - the danger is all year round.

On this episode of the Briefing, Bension Siebert speaks with Australian ex-pat Jaxson McLennan from his home near a fire-front in Pasadena.
