No letup in LA fires as damage toll soars

Wildfires continued to burn uncontained across Los Angeles County on Thursday and Friday, as the two biggest blazes killed at least 10 people and burned more than 10,000 homes and other structures. Officials urged more people to heed evacuation orders after a new fire ignited and quickly grew.

The Kenneth Fire started on Thursday afternoon in the San Fernando Valley. It moved into neighboring Ventura County but a large response by firefighters stopped the flames from spreading.

The Eaton Fire near Pasadena that started on Tuesday night has burned more than 5,000 structures, a term that includes homes, apartment buildings, businesses, outbuildings and vehicles. Firefighters were able to establish the first bit of containment on Thursday.
