Since Tuesday, multiple wildfires in Southern California have burned through at least 39,000 acres — an area nearly the size of Brooklyn — and firefighters have barely made a dent.

Five wildfires—the biggest of which are the Palisades and the Eaton fires—are still currently burning (as of 10 January 2025) in areas of north Los Angeles. At least 10 people are known to have lost their lives and many more properties have been burnt to the ground.

Firefighters have stopped the deadly flames from damaging the historic Mt. Wilson Observatory and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The Los Angeles wildfires continue to burn out of control, with the death toll now at seven and expected to climb. Nearly 180,000 people have been ordered to evacuate and at least 10,000 buildings have been destroyed, L.A.

Satellite images show the extent of devastation from multiple wildfires burning in Los Angeles County. The fires have killed at least 10 people and destroyed thousands of structures.
