According to theAssociated Press, the Palisades Fire has now been classified as the most destructive in the history of Los Angeles County, with more than 21,000 acres burning as of Friday night, perCal Fire.

Dry vegetation and lack of rain made for the perfect environment for the flames to grow. Severe Santa Ana winds helped the wildfires spread at unprecedented speeds.
