While another Los Angeles County wildfire burned homes to the ground, the community of Altadena was also left devastated by a quickly moving blaze — one that has left at least five people dead and injured several others as it wiped out entire buildings.

The fires have burned nearly 36,000 acres north and west of Los Angeles as of Friday morning, according to Cal Fire. And a new fire popped up Thursday night, further stressing crews desperately trying to extinguish the flames.
