The wildfires blazing through Los Angeles have already taken historical proportions and authorities are saying they are not close to containing them, as elevated to critical fire weather conditions are expected in Southern California through the weekend.
At least 10 people have died so far and 180,000 residents have been forced to evacuate. Officials fear the death toll may keep rising as firefighters battle blazes fueled by dry conditions and powerful Santa Ana winds that are expected to persist through Friday.
