Fierce winds fueled new fires and made it harder to contain the largest blazes, which have destroyed whole neighborhoods and have become some of the most devastating in California’s history.

At least 10 people are dead and many more injured as several fires broke out across Southern California amid historically dry and windy conditions.

The deadly wildfires roaring through Los Angeles County entered a fourth day on Friday. At least 10 people have been killed, about 150,000 are under mandatory evacuation orders and more than 10,000 homes and other structures have been destroyed,

Meanwhile, a new brush fire ignited in the Woodland Hills neighborhood in northern Los Angeles, immediately prompting mandatory evacuation orders.

Firefighters battled early Thursday to control a series of major fires in the Los Angeles area that have killed five people, ravaged communities from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena and sent thousands of people frantically fleeing their homes.
