Fueled by powerful winds and dry conditions, a series of ferocious wildfires erupted last week and roared across the Los Angeles area.

But while the January fires rank as the most destructive in Los Angeles history, they have not been as damaging as others in the Golden State. They are among only some of the worst wildfires California has ever seen.

Although the cause of each blaze has yet to be determined, they all burned in or near foothill communities amid gusty winds and dry air and vegetation.

The causes of eight fires, including the Eaton and Palisades fires, that have broken out around Los Angeles in the last week all remain under investigation.

Early estimates show that the total damage and economic loss due to the Los Angeles wildfires could be between $60 billion and $130 billion.
