Massive wildfires have devastated the Los Angeles area, claiming at least 10 lives and destroying thousands of homes and businesses. Officials urged residents to follow evacuation orders as new fires erupted, including the fast-moving Kenneth Fire, which ignited in the San Fernando Valley and quickly spread to neighbouring Ventura County.

Take a look at the videos below:

President Joe Biden, who declared a major disaster on Tuesday, promised on Thursday that the federal government would reimburse 100 per cent of the recovery for the next 180 days to pay for debris and hazard material removal, temporary shelters and first responder salaries.

"I told the governor, local officials, spare no expense to do what they need to do and contain these fires," Biden said after meeting with senior advisers at the White House.
