Wildfires in California have killed 42 people and destroyed over 6,000 structures since they began on Thursday.
Firefighters are still trying to contain multiple blazes, and rescuers are searching for other bodies as many people are still reported missing.
Pictures from the scene show razed buildings and an apocalyptic landscape.

More than 5,000 firefighters have been battling the blaze as the fire rages on. While they made gains last night, it’s still only 30 per cent contained.
The smoke from the fires could be seen from space.
As people fled, animals were often left behind or displaced. Rescuers found geese, cats, dogs and horses in the aftermath.
