In pictures | Los Angeles area landmarks before and after wildfires

California wildfires sweeping through the Los Angeles area have killed at least 10 people, consumed more than 10,000 structures and sparked evacuation orders affecting 180,000 people.

Here’s a look at some of the landmarks before and after the wildfires, the two largest of which include the Palisades Fire in the affluent Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, and the Eaton Fire in the Altadena section of Pasadena, California.

The Eaton Fire, which started on Tuesday evening, has grown to about 5,476 hectares, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire). More than 5,000 buildings were destroyed, such as homes, residential buildings, businesses, outbuildings and vehicles.

Among the many buildings was the Altadena Community Church, founded in 1940, destroyed by wildfires in downtown Altadena on Wednesday.

“To all religious communities, including the Pasadena Jewish Center and St. Mark’s Diocese across the street who also lost their buildings, we send our love, condolences and prayers always,” the church posted on its Facebook page on Wednesday.

Open for 26 years, the Rabbit Museum, which he said was the only museum in the world about all things rabbit, burned down on Wednesday. “They only saved a few rabbit items. They saved cats and rabbits,” the museum wrote in a post on its Facebook page, adding that it was the last of the surrounding buildings to burn.
