Thousands more homes are threatened across the region
California has evacuated a quarter of a million people as fierce winds fan wildfires in the Los Angeles region, stretching south to the Mexican border.
At least one person has died and thousands of homes are at risk in seven counties, where fires have scorched some 240,000 acres (97,000 hectares).
Firefighters warn that the fires, which are being fanned by hot winds, will get worse in the days ahead.
Hotter temperatures and high winds are forecast for Tuesday.
At least 655 homes have been destroyed, including at least 133 homes in one mountain resort community. Thousands more homes are threatened across the region.
