Two wildfires that began Jan. 7 in Los Angeles County have burned more than 37,800 acres in one week, forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate and destroyed more than 12,000 buildings.
Fanned by an extreme Santa Ana windstorm, flames spread and embers scattered into neighborhoods that were burned to the ground in what firefighters described as some of the worst conditions they have ever seen.
The Palisades Fire in Pacific Palisades and the Eaton Fire northeast of Los Angeles became two of the most destructive fires on record in California. Many areas are still being assessed for damage in what will likely be one of the costliest disasters in U.S. history.
