The Palisades Fire, which has destroyed an estimated 1,000 structures, was first reported at around 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 7 in the 1100 block of North Piedra Morada Drive.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum jokingly said North America should be renamed "Mexican America" because an old Mexican constitution labeled it by that moniker.
The Palisades fire, Pasadena's Eaton fire and the Hurst fire are burning uncontrollably in the greater Los Angeles area, leaving 5 dead and prompting thousands to evacuate.
