Wildfires ravaging Los Angeles have killed at least 16 people and destroyed 12,000 structures, with six fires burning into a fifth night.
The 23,000-acre Palisades Fire between Santa Monica and Malibu on the city's western flank and the Eaton Fire in the east near Pasadena already rank among the most destructive blazes in Los Angeles history, consuming more than 53 square miles and turning entire neighborhoods to ash.
