Nearly a dozen people are believed to be dead and many more injured as several fires broke out across Southern California amid historically dry and windy conditions.

Firefighters have also made gains in the north side of the fire, slowing it’s progress there, and over the weekend have been able to significantly slow its progress on the eastern side. Video captured by a California National Guard member captures up-close footage of the air attack on the Palisades Fire burning in the area of Topanga State Park.
