California wildfires in photos: Images capture the catastrophic scale in Los Angeles and the Palisades

The wildfires in Los Angeles continued to burn mostly out of control, with at least five blazes being fueled by dry conditions and ferocious winds in California.

Wildfires in the greater Los Angeles area continued to burn mostly out of control on Thursday, with at least five blazes engulfing more than 45 square miles.

At least 10 people have died as a result of the fires, which have been fueled by dry conditions and ferocious winds.

More than 180,000 people have been forced to evacuate as the Palisades, Eaton and Hurst fires — among others — burn tens of thousands of acres in densely populated areas.

Photos of the disaster, which will likely rank as the most destructive in L.A. history, capture the apocalyptic scale of destruction and heartbreak left in its wake.
