For five consecutive days, wildfires fanned by strong winds have ravaged neighborhoods in Los Angeles, destroying more than 12,300 homes and buildings and leaving at least 11 dead. Fresh evacuations were ordered from Mandeville Canyon to the Interstate 405 freeway on Friday evening because of a flare up of the massive Palisades Fire.

An escalation in the Palisades fire threatens thousands of properties in the region. More than 5,300 structures have already been destroyed in the region.

A brief break in the dangerous winds fueling California’s destructive blazes allowed firefighters to launch an aggressive bid for control—but it wasn’t enough to knock down Los Angeles’s two biggest fires.
