With a 27,000-acre inferno bearing down on America's second-largest city, fire crews are using multiple tools at their disposal in their efforts to protect lives and property.
California firefighters have a range of old and new technologies to aid in their task, ranging from AI-powered sensors for fire detection to kerosene-powered aircraft for suppression.
US and Canadian water bomber planes and helicopters have been some of the most prominent pieces of equipment in the field as they scoop up seawater to quench the blazes nearby.

Wildfires raging across Los Angeles this week have destroyed thousands of buildings, killed at least five people, and forced nearly 180,000 residents to evacuate. As of Thursday afternoon, most of the fires remain uncontained, while efforts to battle the largest blaze, in the Pacific Palisades, have been hampered by temporary water shortages.
These shortages fueled a wave of social-media posts about the impact ChatGPT and other forms of artificial intelligence have on the environment: “One search on ChatGPT uses 10x the amount of energy as a Google search. Training one AI model produces the same amount of carbon dioxide as 300 round trip flights between New York and San Francisco and five times the lifetime emissions of a car,” artist and activist Matt Bernstein wrote in a viral Instagram post.
