More than 12,000 homes, businesses, schools and other structures have been destroyed by raging wildfires that began ripping through the Greater Los Angeles area last Tuesday. 

Cal Fire said in an update Monday that a total of 40,300 acres have burned across multiple blazes including the Pacific Palisades fire west of Los Angeles, the Eaton Fire near Altadena and the Hurst fire near Sylmar. At least 24 people have died and more than 100,000 have been forced to flee their homes.  

Los Angeles County published preliminary damage maps for the Eaton and Palisades fires but warned that damage inspections are ongoing and the maps are incomplete.
