The California National Guard has been deployed to Los Angeles as the City of Angels continues to battle out-of-control wildfires, its troops tasked with preventing looting and riots as well as helping emergency responders tackle the blaze.
The fires that erupted earlier this week, profiting from dry conditions and whipped up by strong Santa Ana winds, have already killed 10 people, destroyed more than 1,000 structures and forced 150,000 residents to evacuate.
