Two wildfires still burning in Los Angeles have torched more urban area than any other fire in the state since at least the mid-1980s, an Associated Press analysis shows.

A study by UCLA, published on Jan. 15, showed that 85% of individuals employed as household workers in Los Angeles are Latino. And, among these individuals, 47% are self-employed, making them ineligible for unemployment benefits or formal protections such as paid leave.

The first of two concerts collectively being referred to as FireAid will soon kick off at the Kia Forum in the Los Angeles city of Inglewood, to support relief efforts in the wake of the deadly wildfires that ignited earlier this month in the LA area,

The FireAid benefit concerts are tonight, Jan. 30, at both the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. The event will raise funds for relief, rebuilding, and fire-prevention efforts in the wake of devastating blazes across the region claimed dozens of lives and thousands of homes.
