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.
A 15-acre brush fire that erupted early Wednesday morning in Riverside County was quickly contained within hours.
The Tyler Fire, which ignited around 3:25 a.m. hear Tyler Street and 47th Avenue in Coachella, was contained by 7 a.m.
