Massive fires in Los Angeles are visible from above due to their immense size.

Recent satellite images from Maxar Technologies have captured the devastating effects of two major wildfires in Los Angeles - the Palisades and Eaton fires. These fires have caused widespread destruction and forced over 150,000 residents to evacuate their homes. The scale of the infernos is so immense that they are now visible from space.

The satellite images reveal the extent of the damage caused by these wildfires, which are believed to be the worst in the city's history. The communities of Palisades and Eaton have been particularly ravaged by the flames, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Stay updated on the latest developments of the LA wildfires by following our live blog.

LA mayor Karen Bass, who had to cut short her official trip to Ghana, described the situation as "the big one". Despite the efforts of firefighters, the flames continue to spread across thousands of acres, with at least six separate wildfires burning in Los Angeles county. Shockingly, three of these fires are listed as being "0% controlled", highlighting the challenges faced by firefighters in containing these blazes.

The fires are not limited to one area, as they are raging on both the eastern and western flanks of the city, as well as in the Hollywood Hills. The smaller Sunset fire, located above the iconic Hollywood Boulevard and its Walk of Fame, is also contributing to the devastation. The strong winds, reaching speeds of 80mph, have only exacerbated the situation, making it even more difficult for firefighters to control the fires. The lack of rain in the area for several months has also contributed to the spread of these deadly blazes.

The satellite images also show smoke rising from the cities of Malibu and Santa Monica, indicating that the fires have not spared these areas either. The damage caused by the fires is already devastating, with over 1,000 buildings destroyed and at least five confirmed deaths. The situation is dire, and our hearts go out to those affected by these destructive wildfires. Stay safe and stay informed by following our live blog for the latest updates on the LA wildfires.
