Smoke rising above ruins, ash in the air, a burning smell and not enough firefighters - these scenes continue to be witnessed in Los Angeles as the number of lives claimed by massive wildfires climbed to 10.
Whole neighbourhoods were burnt down and over 1.4 lakh people were evacuated as at least four to five fires burnt uncontained in the high-profile Palisades, Pasadena and Malibu areas, among others.
