Firefighters are at a critical stage in their six-day battle against the deadly fires in Los Angeles. Crews are reporting progress, but officials say the fire threat will remain very high as dangerous winds return this week.
At least 24 people have died and dozens more are missing, but officials say it is not yet safe to estimate the true death toll.
Officials warned that after a weekend of relatively calm winds, Santa Ana's notoriously dry winds would pick up again Sunday night into Wednesday, reaching speeds of up to 96 km/h.
Before the wind picks up, some progress has been made in stopping the spread of the deadly Palisades and Eaton fires, which are burning on opposite ends of the city. Local firefighters are being assisted by crews from eight other states, as well as Canada and Mexico, who continue to arrive.
The fires are fueled by a number of factors, but scientists say global warming has also played a role, with California vulnerable to climate change. (A2 Televizion)
