At least 10 people are dead and thousands of structures have been damaged or destroyed as fierce wildfires rage in the Los Angeles area. Fast-moving flames are burning through homes and businesses with nearly 180,000 residents fleeing smoke-filled neighborhoods that are home to many celebrities. Many of the towering fires began Tuesday and burned uncontained Thursday. They are fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds. The wind has eased enough to allow aerial firefighting to resume, but strong gusts may return. Gov. Gavin Newsom says California has deployed more than 1,400 firefighting personnel. Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington state are all sending teams to help. More than 285,000 customers are without power.
