LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- At least 27 people are believed to be dead and more than a dozen others remain unaccounted for as multiple wildfires, fueled by severe drought conditions and strong Santa Ana winds, continue burning in Southern California.
The Palisades Fire, burning in the Pacific Palisades, and the Eaton Fire, burning in Altadena, have forced thousands to evacuate and destroyed more than 12,000 structures.
Here are all the current wildfires burning in Southern California at a glance.

At least two people have been killed and several others injured in the Eaton Fire near Altadena, which has destroyed more than 100 structures while burning 2,227 acres, officials confirmed Wednesday.
Fire officials announced the developments at a morning news conference. The deceased were identified only as civilians. Details of how and where they died were not immediately released.
The devastating fire continued to burn uncontrolled as of 8 a.m.
The fire expanded rapidly overnight and into the early morning hours -- at the time the winds were forecast to be the strongest of a windstorm that began Tuesday morning and was set to continue into Thursday. The erratic winds grounded aerial firefighting assets, and ground crews were unable to keep pace with the flames' advance.
