Los Angeles faces a catastrophic wildfire outbreak with at least 10 fatalities and almost 10,000 structures destroyed. Five fires continue to burn as winds regain strength, fanning the flames further. The Palisades and Eaton fires have already become the most destructive in the city's history.

In response to the disaster, President Joe Biden declared a major disaster in California, promising full federal reimbursement for recovery efforts.
