All that is known so far for the California Los Angeles fires.

California is continuing to face the fires that have begun for the past few days while causing casualties and major material damage.

Firefighters are still struggling with flames that have burned 40,000 hectares since last Tuesday.

They have killed at least 24 people and destroyed more than 12,000 facilities, including houses, huts, mobile homes and cars, photographed Telegrafi.

And while fires broke out in Los Angeles, more than 100,000 people are under evacuation orders.

Good progress was achieved on Sunday, with calmer winds allowing firefighters to fully contain several smaller fires.

But winds are growing again as we enter a new week, presenting a challenge to ourselves.

And the next 48 hours are estimated to be crucial to those facing fires.

Meanwhile, investigators are still working to determine what caused them.
