Firefighters in California are continuing to battle the three biggest fires that are still burning in areas across Los Angeles. Officials insist they are well-prepared, with almost 5,000 firefighters tackling the Palisades fire alone. The largest, Palisades, which has burnt through more than 23,000 acres, is 13% contained.

The resurgence of powerful winds across Southern California threatened to slow the containment of historically destructive wildfires that have so far left 24 people dead and thousands of homes destroyed.
