Wildfires tore across the Los Angeles area with devastating force on Wednesday after setting off a desperate escape from burning homes through flames, ferocious winds and towering clouds of smoke.

According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, known as Cal Fire, there are three wildfires currently scorching Los Angeles County: the Palisades Fire, at nearly 3,000 acres; the Eaton Fire, over 2,000 acres; and the Hurst Fire, about 500 acres. As of Wednesday morning, none of the fires have been contained.

The fast-moving fire reached nearly 3,000 acres and was still 0% contained early Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
