Two wildfires in Los Angeles County that ravaged more than 34,000 acres, killed at least 10 people and destroyed more than 10,000 structures in four days are now among the five most devastating fires recorded in the state of California.

On Thursday, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection added that Eaton And Palisades The fires – both of which are still burning after sparking on Tuesday – are among the state’s most devastating wildfires. This list includes fires throughout California that have burned and completely destroyed most structures, including buildings but also outbuildings, barns, garages and sheds. The list dates back to 1932, when the state first began tracking wildfire death and destruction numbers.

The Palisades Fire is the third most destructive wildfire in state history and the Eaton Fire is the fourth most destructive. As of Friday, 5,316 structures were destroyed by the Palisades Fire and more than 5,000 by the Eaton Fire, according to Cal Fire. However, local authorities said those numbers are likely to rise as damage assessments are still ongoing.

No other fires in Los Angeles County are on the list of the 20 most devastating fires in California history.

Houses were burned to the ground and several buildings were completely destroyed. This includes schools, restaurants, churches, grocery stores, and popular LA landmarks reduced to rubble and ashes this week.

“Everything burned down. Everything – my children’s school, our community, our neighbors’ houses, a desolate intersection.

Strong winds swept flames from the Eaton Fire through the community. On Thursday, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed at least 10 deaths related to the Eaton and Palisades fires. Earlier, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said authorities were still working to determine exact numbers while officers were still sifting through the rubble.

They have been using K-9 units to search the rubble for human remains as firefighting efforts continue. He said officials would “hopefully not discover too many fatalities,” although it remains to be seen what ultimately happens.

“That is our prayer. But this is a crisis and we don’t know what to expect,” Luna said.
