Firefighters in Los Angeles hope to make progress against several wildfires that have destroyed more 35,000 acres of land.
The fires have killed at least 10 people and about 180,000 people have had to evacuate. The fires have been so overwhelming that LA fire authorities don't have enough crew to cope.
More than 10,000 structures have been destroyed, according to Cal Fire.
