The Bridge Fire burns in the hills of Big Pines, near Wrightwood, California, on September 12, 2024. Cooler weather on September 12 aided firefighters battling out-of-control blazes around Los Angeles, but officials warned the fast-moving fires were unpredictable and could suddenly explode. The Bridge Fire in the Angeles National Forest — the largest active blaze in California — has now swelled to over 51,000 acres, destroying at least 33 homes. (Photo by ETIENNE LAURENT / AFP)
