Entire neighbourhoods have been destroyed by Los Angeles wildfires, with aerial footage showing the scale of destruction.

 

Police and rescue services could be seen working in several areas.

It came as firefighters scrambled on Sunday, 12 January to make further progress against wildfires that have destroyed thousands of homes and killed at least 24 people in the Los Angeles area as forecasters again warned of dangerous weather with the return of strong winds this week.

 

Eight deaths were attributed to the Palisades Fire and 16 resulted from the Eaton Fire, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office said.

Firefighters raced to contain the frontiers of two Los Angeles wildfires that burned for the sixth straight day on Sunday, taking advantage of a brief respite in hazardous conditions before high winds were expected to fan the flames anew.
