Additionally, several structures at the Will Rogers State Historic Park, the Topanga Ranch Motel, the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center, and Palisades Charter High School were damaged in the fires.
According to CNN, the wildfires were fueled by the high Santa Ana winds (80-100 mph). Strong winds (over 40 mph) are set to hit the city through Wednesday.
According to CalFire, the fires have burned through 40,500 acres of land with more than 12,300 structures destroyed. The fire in Palisades has just been 17% contained. Additionally, at least 25 lives have been lost to the disaster.
