The extreme red flag warning goes into place overnight and ends Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service says.

The overwhelming flames of the Palisades Fire prompted some neighbors to take action. On Wednesday, two residents bypassed a security checkpoint to go save their properties and their neighbors. Christopher Jones used a pump rig he got years ago and drained water from neighbors' pools and Jacuzzis to spray water on the threatened homes.

As wildfires continue to devastate Los Angeles, leaving thousands displaced and causing widespread destruction, experts urge long-term support and careful giving.
