LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — High winds and dry conditions have sparked multiple wildfires in Los Angeles and surrounding Southern California areas.
Two major fires, the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire, destroyed hundreds of structures in Pacific Palisades and the Altadena and Pasadena neighborhoods, respectively.
Also burning are the 500-acre Hearst Fire near Sylmar and two smaller fires: the Tyler Fire near Coachella and the Woodley Fire in the Sepulveda Basin.
Photographers have captured fascinating images of the devastating fires, which are summarized in the slideshow below.
