Fast-moving fires blaze trails of destruction in the Los Angeles area, killing at least five people, injuring many more and destroying hundreds of homes and businesses. Satellite images by Maxar Technologies show homes and businesses before the fires started and the charred aftermath one day later.

The Palisades Fire has burned more than 17,000 acres, including homes along the Pacific Coast Highway. The fire also damaged landmarks in Los Angeles County, including some vegetation and trees at the site of the Getty Villa, a Greco-Roman art museum on the freeway.

In this Jan. 8 photo, the remains of homes in Altadena, Calif., near Marathon Road, are seen from space after the Eaton fire blazed through the area. The Eaton brand has destroyed 10,600 acres, including parts of Altadena, north of Pasadena, an area bordering the Angeles National Forest.
