The Los Angeles Fire Department chief, who was removed in February over the department’s response to the raging wildfires, accused LA Mayor Karen Bass of waging a “misinformation” campaign against her.

The fires have ravaged small, sparsely populated towns in the country's northwest, forcing locals in many cases to act as firefighters. About 2,382 square miles have burned across Spain and Portugal.

Everglades wildfires spread to 1,600 acres, affecting Broward County and reducing visibility on roads like I-75. Air quality is unhealthy; residents are advised to limit outdoor activities.
