Multiple wildfires, including the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire, are raging across Southern California Thursday, leaving at least 10 dead and burning more than 27,000 acres, officials say. Police have arrested 20 suspected looters.

Wildfires menacing Los Angeles have killed at least 10 people and devoured nearly 10,000 structures, with five fires burning into a third night on Thursday, as dry desert winds fanning the flames again gathered strength.

The number of deceased people has increased to 10 as authorities and the medical examiner continue to respond to reported fatalities.

Rows of cars at a dealership, blasted by flames, looked like they had been bombed. A man wearing a mask walked by debris of a neighborhood destroyed. A couple, arms around each other, looked at what was left of their smoldering home. A statue of a human, without a head, lay on a street.

Hundreds of thousands are without power in California as the powerful Santa Ana winds continue to cause the spread of multiple wildfires. There are over 249,159 people without power in California, according to the USA TODAY power outage tracker.

Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated after flames quickly engulfed huge swathes of the Pacific Palisades area.
