At least 24 people have died in the Los Angeles fires as two major blazes continue to burn across the sprawling Californian city.

Firefighters had made progress by Sunday – containing one smaller fire and nearly containing another – but the two largest blazes are still raging.


 

With strong winds expected to continue until Wednesday, the fire threat remains “very high”, LA county officials said.

The fires are being marked as the most destructive in the city’s history with officials warning the death toll could rise. Cadaver dogs and crews are continuing to search the scorched rubble of razed homes in neighbourhoods.
