Formula E has released a statement offering its support to those impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles, United States. Over 10,000 homes and other buildings have been destroyed in the fires, whilst at least 11 people have reportedly lost their lives. According to the BBC , six wildfires are currently present across Los Angeles, with residents having been warned to stay inside due to the poor air quality. A local health emergency has been declared regarding the air, due to the ash and smoke covering the area. The first blaze started on Tuesday, with residents in the Palisades area having now been ordered to evacuate. There are fears the situation could quickly worsen, with strong winds being forecast. LA is a city close to FE, with Cupra Kiro being based in area. The all-electric series also raced in LA back in 2015 and 2016, on a modified version of the Long Beach Circuit. FE's statement read: "All of Formula E are devastated to see the impact of the wildfires in Los Angeles. "LA holds a special place within the Formula E family - it's a city we've raced in, and home to many of our loyal fans, teams, media, partners and friends. "Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the region."
