Despite a temporary dip in wind speeds, the Palisades fire, having burned through 21,600 acres and only being 8% contained, raises fears of further destruction with impending Santa Ana winds.
With a death toll of at least 11 and thousands of structures destroyed, the wildfires are among the five most damaging in California's history, showcasing the severe impact of climate conditions.
The Los Angeles region faces new rounds of challenges as National Guard units assist in evacuation areas, while authorities enforce curfews to protect residents during this perilous time.
