Strong Santa Ana winds fueled wildfires that burned across Southern California for more than three weeks, destroying entire neighborhoods and forcing tens of thousands more residents out of their homes.
Thousands of firefighters battled three major brush fires, in addition to several smaller fires, across Los Angeles County for most of January.
The Palisades Fire, the fourth-most destructive fire in California's history, spread across more than 23,000 acres in the Pacific Palisades, according to the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The Eaton Fire, billed as the second-most destructive fire in the state and the most damaging fire on record in Los Angeles, charred more than 14,000 acres in Altadena.
The Hughes Fire burned more than 10,000 acres in the Castaic area.
At least 29 fire-related deaths were recorded by the Los Angeles County medical examiner, with many others sustaining injuries, according to officials.
President Joe Biden signed a disaster declaration for California at the request of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who declared a state of emergency on Jan. 7.
