At the same time, new data shows that 2024 was the world's hottest year on record. So is climate change making these types of fires worse?

Esme Stallard, a BBC Climate and Science journalist, takes us through the conditions that contributed to the fire and why the flames are so hard to contain.

We also hear from people in LA about what it’s all been like for them, losing their homes and having to evacuate.
