Massive Los Angeles Wildfires Destroy 10,000 Structures

The Los Angeles area is being devastated by multiple wildfires, notably the Eaton, Palisades, and Kenneth fires, with at least 10,000 structures destroyed and a death toll now reaching ten. The fires have forced the evacuation of nearly 180,000 people, with an additional 200,000 under evacuation warnings, as high winds are expected to exacerbate the situation. Significant landmarks and communities, including Malibu and Pacific Palisades, have been severely damaged, with celebrities among those who have lost homes. The destruction includes schools, churches, and other infrastructure, while local officials have implemented curfews and deployed National Guard troops to prevent looting. Firefighters have been aided by calmer winds and out-of-state crews, but the Kenneth Fire's rapid spread continues to pose a significant threat. The situation is further complicated by incidents like a drone crash into a firefighting aircraft, though no injuries were reported.
