A new wildfire quickly spread through the Hollywood Hills early Thursday morning as Los Angeles and the surrounding region continues to fight the most destructive fires in the city's history.

There are no signs of the fires stopping. Meteorologists are forecasting high winds and no rain through the weekend. Five people have been confirmed dead from the fires but LA County says the death toll is likely higher since the majority of burned neighborhoods have not yet been searched.

The situation has emergency responders rushing in from all over the nation, including those from the Minnesota and Dakotas region of the American Red Cross. The group’s Regional Chief Executive Brice Johnson joins MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about their team's response to the crisis.
