At least five people are dead and many more are injured as a series of devastating fires grow uncontained across Southern California amid dry and windy conditions, leaving officials scrambling to contain the historic destruction.

Two wildfires fueled by strong winds in Southern California have forced thousands to evacuate, catching the attention of the White House.

Tens of thousands were evacuated as more than 5,000 acres burned in the Palisades Fire in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood in Los Angeles. At least 1,000 structures are estimated to have been destroyed in the fire.

Four fires burning in different parts of Los Angeles County are being fanned by wind gusts as high as 100 mph.
