Fire crews in Los Angeles are still battling two large blazes and two smaller ones as they brace for more possible destruction.

The Palisades Fire that is burning between Santa Monica and Malibu on the city’s western side has destroyed more than 23,000 acres, and ranks among the most destructive in California’s history.

At least 24 people have died in the fires and 23 others are missing in the Eaton and Palisades fire zones, while more than 90,000 are under evacuation orders.

Residents are bracing for further destruction as weather forecasts indicate that winds helping fuel the flames might pick up again.

Los Angeles’ mayor Karen Bass said “urgent preparations” are being made in advance of the near-hurricane force winds, which are expected throughout Tuesday.

President Biden has said that rebuilding areas of the city that were burned down during almost a week of wildfires is going to cost tens of billions of dollars.
