Anderson Cooper turns his attention to the devastating wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles County in a new special report, “LA Burning.” As tens of thousands evacuate their homes and millions endure hazardous air quality, Cooper’s report promises a sobering look at a crisis unfolding in real time.
Building on CNN’s extensive on-the-ground coverage, the special will examine the confluence of factors contributing to these deadly infernos. Cooper will share the stories of those caught in the fire’s path – the families who have lost everything, the firefighters battling the flames, and the communities struggling to cope with the aftermath.
With the threat of further windstorms and fires looming, “LA Burning” arrives at a crucial moment. It’s clear there is an increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires in a changing climate, and there has to be a call for greater preparedness and mitigation efforts.
The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper airs Sunday, January 12, at 8/7c on CNN.
