Firefighters in the Los Angeles area are facing a crucial day, as forecasters warn that particularly dangerous winds in north-west LA could spread blazes.
A red flag weather warning for wind gusts of up to 70mph has begun, while elsewhere LA residents have been told to stay indoors to avoid dust and ash.
At least two large blazes and two smaller ones continue to burn – the biggest, the Palisades Fire, has destroyed more than 23,000 acres and is 14% contained
At least 24 people have died in the fires and 23 others are missing, while more than 90,000 are under evacuation orders
