STORYLINE:
Ground footage shows the wide-reaching devastation of the Eaton Fire, one of several wildfires that sprung out in the Los Angeles County area in the past week.
About 88,000 people from highly populated neighborhoods including Pacific Palisades, Altadena and others remained under evacuation orders Tuesday.
Another 84,800 might be ordered to evacuate.
Although the fires have reduced a number of celebrity mansions and movie landmarks to ashes, they also burned through more affordable communities such as Altadena, which has served generations of Black families who might have faced discriminatory housing practices elsewhere.
Investigators haven’t determined the cause of the wildfire yet.
Lightning is the most common source of fires in the U.S., according to the National Fire Protection Association, but investigators quickly ruled that out.
There were no reports of lightning in the Palisades area or the terrain around the Eaton Fire, which started in eastern Los Angeles County.
The next two most common causes are fires that are intentionally set or caused by electricity lines.
