Firefighters are trying to slow down the unstoppable flames. Not a single house resisted in a residential area in Los Angeles (United States), they were all devoured by fire. A scene that repeats itself for miles and offers an unrecognizable landscape.
Two fires driven by violent winds were recorded on the outskirts of Los Angeles. A mixture of ashes, heat and anguish for the inhabitants. Retirees are evacuated from their nursing homes in extreme conditions.
