What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story as active wildfires in Southern California with evacuation-related consequences. CNN and CBS both foreground the weather conditions, with CNN highlighting evacuation orders and warnings tied to Santa Ana winds and low humidity, while CBS puts the winds in the headline as the main cause of the fires. ABC News is the only one to name the Bryson fire and the Henderson fires in its extract.
