Wildfires in Los Angeles have killed at least 10 people, as officials warn more high winds could further fan the flames.
The wind forecasts and drought conditions mean a red flag warning – indicating critical fire conditions – is in place across Southern California.
Five fires are still burning and a man has been detained on suspicion of starting the latest.
But the local fire chief tells the BBC there is currently no “conclusive evidence” that the wildfires were started deliberately.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna says it has not been safe to reach many of the hardest-hit areas, with some expecting the death toll to rise.
