All you need to know about wildfires raining embers onto Los Angeles area

Quick Summary:

Many of the towering fires began Tuesday and were fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds, which gusted to more than 70 mph (112 kph) in some spots.

The winds persisted Wednesday and for a while made it too dangerous for aircraft to attack the fires from the sky, furthering hampering their efforts.

In a rare, urgent plea, the Los Angeles Fire Department asked all off-duty firefighters in the city to help.
