LA officials say the destruction caused by the deadly wildfires is "massive", "unimaginable" and unprecedented. 

Firefighters are a long way off containing the largest Palisades blaze, with 86% of it thought to be burning out of control. 

The death toll remains at 24, while another 23 people are still missing. 

Char Miller —a Professor of Environmental Analysis at LA's Pomona College— told Tim Beveridge the firestorm has been unrelenting. 

He says while they're used to fires in California, this one is different, and it feels like they're constantly under siege.
