NEW YORK, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) -- Thousands have fled as wildfires spread across the U.S. Los Angeles region -- what ignited the Palisades and Eaton fires, the two main blazes, is still under investigation but weather conditions have helped fuel their spread. Experts call the areas "the wildland-urban interface" (WUI).
"An increasing number of people around the United States now live in that transition zone where open lands meet human development, and it's becoming more dangerous as climate change fuels more intense fires," reported Bloomberg News on Thursday.
