Devastating wildfires are wreaking havoc in areas around Los Angeles, California. As of Friday, more than 180,000 people have been evacuated and 10 deaths have been reported in connection to the fires.
A total of five wildfires are actively burning across thousands of acres. Four of them are less than 40% contained. High winds of 40-60 mph have made firefighting extremely challenging.
