At least two dozen people had been reported dead in the fires raging around in Los Angeles as of Monday.
Most of them lived in the hillside community of Altadena, near the eastern edge of the city, where the Eaton fire destroyed thousands of structures. Several lived within just a few blocks of one another, near the edge of the Angeles National Forest.
Two of the dead, a man and his son, who had cerebral palsy, had called for help evacuating, but none came. One of the victims was found near a garden hose he had been using to spray his house as the fire bore down.
In the Palisades fire, near the coast, the dead included a hang-glider, a surfer and a former child star from Australia.
Here is what we know about some of the victims:
Deaths in the Eaton Fire
Evelyn McClendon
Evelyn McClendon, 59, lived surrounded by three generations of her family in the Altadena neighborhood: her mother lived in a separate house on the same property; her brother, Zaire Calvin, lived next door. Mr. Calvin recalled racing to help his wife, his 1-year-old daughter, and his 84-year-old mother evacuate, while yelling to his sister to get in her car.
