Residential neighborhoods in Los Angeles County's Altadena, essentially ground zero for the Eaton Fire, the second largest after the Palisades Fire, are still on high alert for the fast moving flames amid windy conditions.
At one destroyed residential neighborhood in Altadena, some families are trying to send their children to relatives as they lost almost everything in their houses and are now in some kind of temporary housing, while the parents are not sure about how much the payout will be from the insurance.
Streets at the neighborhood are quiet, as everybody is still on high alert for the ravaging blazes, and a night-time curfew between 18:00 and 06:00 is in place to prevent the increasing incidents of looting.
At least 25 people have died and more than a dozen others remain unaccounted for as multiple wildfires rage across the Los Angeles area.
The fierce wildfires in Los Angeles County, fueled by severe drought conditions and strong winds, destroyed more than 12,300 structures as of Monday.
The Palisades Fire, the largest one, was 14 percent contained, and the Eaton Fire, the second largest, was 33 percent contained as of Monday morning, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire).
About 92,000 people remain under mandatory evacuation orders due to the wildfires, and another 89,000 are under evacuation warnings, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna told reporters on Monday.
