How many homes have burned in the Los Angeles wildfires so far?

More than 12,000 homes, businesses, schools and other structures have been destroyed by raging wildfires that began ripping through the Greater Los Angeles area last Tuesday.

Cal Fire said in an update Monday that a total of 40,300 acres have burned across multiple blazes including the Pacific Palisades fire west of Los Angeles, the Eaton Fire near Altadena and the Hurst fire near Sylmar. At least 24 people have died and more than 100,000 have been forced to flee their homes.

Los Angeles County published preliminary damage maps for the Eaton and Palisades fires but warned that damage inspections are ongoing and the maps are incomplete.

Joshua Mott, a spokesperson for Cal Fire, told USA TODAY that initial damage estimates are based on infrared imaging. The aerial estimates are verified by on-the-ground teams that inspect each structure.  A “structure” he said could include anything from a chicken coop to a dethatched garage, or an entire home.

Mott said the damage inspections are still underway and will enter areas in the fire perimeter when it is safe to do so.

Here’s a look at the path of destruction.

The fire, which broke out the morning of Jan. 7, has wreaked havoc across 36 square miles, transforming entire communities into piles of ash. It is the most destructive fire in the history of Los Angeles. As of Monday morning, it was only 14% contained.

Cal Fire has so far not reported any substantial damage to homes or businesses in the area around the Hurst Fire.
