The ongoing wildfires across Los Angeles County, the most populated county in America, have forced at least 180,000 people to leave their homes.
The Eaton fire in Altadena/Pasadena is still burning with zero percent containment, meaning evacuation orders are mandatory, with people having to leave their homes and many possessions behind.
A number of people have already been arrested for looting during the wildfire evacuations.
