Multiple major wildfires are leaving a trail of destruction and death in the Los Angeles area. A handful of wildfires that kicked up Tuesday, powered by high winds and dry conditions, have exploded in size.

Coverage of the fires ravaging Altadena, Malibu, Pacific Palisades and Pasadena, including stories about the devastation, issues firefighters faced and the weather.

Though the Palisades and Eaton fires are smaller, they rank high in structures burned. Combined, they would equal the second-most destructive California wildfire in history, with more than 9,000 structures burned, according to early Cal Fire estimates. A more detailed analysis of the total number of destroyed structures is still underway.

Tens of thousands of Southern Californians were ordered to evacuate their homes after out-of-control wildfires engulfed several parts of the Los Angeles area.

One Los Angeles resident confronted Gov. Gavin Newsom on officials' response to the catastrophic wildfires. The 'Fox & Friends' co-hosts react to the exchange and why local and state officials are facing scrutiny.

The governor was confronted by a woman in the Los Angeles neighborhood where a wildfire has burned across nearly 20,000 acres.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered an investigation into the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power amid reports of a loss of water pressure to fire hydrants and limited water resources in the wildfire zones.

Following concerns that firefighters lacked resources and dealt with low water pressure to combat the devastating Palisades Fire, Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered an independent investigation into the matter.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom called for an independent investigation Friday into the loss of water pressure from local fire hydrants crucially needed while combatting the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles this week.
