Los Angeles Wildfires Kill 10, Destroy Over 10,000 Buildings; Death Toll May Rise
Jan 10, 2025, 06:03 AM
The death toll from wildfires in Los Angeles has risen to 10, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office. The fires, including the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire, have destroyed over 10,000 buildings and continue to burn out of control, making them among the most devastating in California's history. Officials warn that the actual death toll may rise as investigators gain access to more neighborhoods, and identification of victims may take several weeks. Firefighters are struggling to contain the blazes, which have forced thousands to evacuate.
