Southern California fire coverage: Evacuation orders, air quality and more

Destructive winds not seen for more than a decade fanned multiple fires across the region. There's little sign of relief as strong Santa Anas are expected to last through much of Wednesday. An unknown number of structures have been destroyed, and many Southern Californians have been evacuated from their homes. The destruction took place so rapidly over the course of the day and into the night that it was impossible to keep a current tally. The Palisades Fire that started on Tuesday morning spread quickly in the subsequent hours. But by the evening, firefighters also had to battle another fast-moving blaze that ignited near Eaton Canyon in Altadena. Two hours later, a fire sparked in East Pasadena — followed by another in Sylmar.
