Six wildfires are burning in Southern California, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire). Earlier this month, two significant wildfires ignited in Los Angeles and quickly grew to encompass thousands of acres.

As fire crews continue to get a handle on the wildfires in Los Angeles, there are growing concerns over a pair of fires burning further south, in the San Diego area.

The fires come as San Diego County mountains and valleys, along with other parts of Southern California, remain under a red flag warning.

At least 27 people have died in the Eaton and Palisades fires, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner said Thursday evening. Seventeen of the deaths are from the Eaton Fire in Altadena and 10 from the Palisades Fire, according to the medical examiner.

Two new fires ignited in San Diego County on Tuesday, as firefighters continue fighting blazes further north in Los Angeles.
