The blazes tearing through Los Angeles have killed at least 24 people, officials said on Sunday, as forecasters issued a rare red flag warning for strong winds expected to hit the area from late Monday through Wednesday.
Over the weekend, firefighters tried to take advantage of calmer winds, which allowed them to make progress against the two biggest blazes, the Palisades and Eaton fires.
The Eaton fire has killed at least 16 people, making it one of the deadliest in California history. Another 16 people were reported missing in the areas of the two largest fires, according to Sheriff Robert Luna of Los Angeles County. Officials expect those numbers to rise.
