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.
State Farm, one of the largest insurers in California, announced it will offer policy renewals to homeowners impacted by the wildfires that erupted in the Los Angeles area last week, following previous plans to drop coverage.
The move will not apply to policies that had already lapsed prior to the fires erupting on Jan. 7.
A member of the Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team was helping residents evacuate when the Eaton Fire destroyed his Altadena home.
Collin Davis returned to find nothing but charred rubble where his house once stood. The inferno consumed nearly everything he owned.
"I found a cast-iron pot in there," Davis told ABC7 as he stood among the ruins on his property. "It was like the only thing that I think is going to be salvageable."
When the raging Eaton Fire was threatening lives and property about seven miles southeast in Sierra Madre, Davis and his crew deployed to help people there.
"All I took with me was my rescue gear because I thought I would just come back in the morning or whenever and my place would be here," Davis said in an interview.
He had only been in the home for 13 months when it burned to the ground. As of Thursday, more than $52,000 had been raised by a GoFundMe campaign to help Davis.
"It gives me hope that so many people are just like, 'What can I do?'" he said.
Under the ash and debris on his property, Davis discovered a bookend with a rabbit figurine -- a small item reminding him of what home used to be.
"I don't want to say I'm not sad," he said, "but it's complicated."
A family in Altadena is mourning the loss of five generations of memories that were destroyed in the deadly Eaton Fire.
Janice Jackson, 77, was born in Pittsburgh, but moved to Altadena as a teenager in 1964. Her mother was the second Black woman to live in the community, according to her family.
"That's the residence that my mom, the family lived in, the one that I was in, and that's gone," said Jackson.
She went on to say, 'I left things at the house. My daughter said, 'Let's go back.' I said, 'We'll get it tomorrow.' So many of us did that. Tomorrow didn't come."
There were five generations of memories in the home, including many with her 68-year-old brother who has special needs, who loved to come home for the holidays.
Now, much of her family is displaced and navigating through the insurance process.

People who have evacuated due to the wildfires can apply to stay at Hilton hotels for free, for up to one week.
Hilton is working with 211LA to provide vouchers for 20,000 hotel rooms.
L.A. County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said this program is "sorely needed."
211 will verify that applicants live in an evacuation zone before distributing vouchers.
