California wildfire claims the lives of five people

Firefighters are battling an unprecedented disaster in California as wildfires rage in Los Angeles. Around 130,000 people have been told to leave their homes as authorities concede they cannot control the inferno. Crews are fighting seven blazes in Los Angeles. The fires have claimed the lives of five people, and that death toll is set to rise. The state's National Guard has been mobilised as firefighters run out of water, and off duty personnel are being called in to assist.
