Fire crews race to contain Los Angeles wildfires as death toll rises to 24

Officials say LA endured another night of ‘unimaginable terror and heartbreak’ as wildfires continue to burn for a sixth straight day: The wildfires raging in the city of Los Angeles in the United States have killed at least 24 people, officials said, as firefighters raced to put out the blazes before the return of strong winds that could fuel the flames again. The blazes burned for a sixth straight day on Sunday, reducing whole neighbourhoods to smouldering ruins, levelling homes and leaving an apocalyptic landscape.
