These fires have burned over 5,400 acres, destroying more than 1,000 structures and claiming at least two lives. Thousands of firefighters are battling the flames, but high winds and dry conditions continue to hamper their efforts.

The fires have left a path of destruction, particularly targeting multi-million-dollar homes.

Over 30,000 people have been forced to evacuate, including Israel, who now faces uncertainty about the fate of his property.
