(KRON) -- Devastating wildfires continue to rage through densely populated areas of Los Angeles Wednesday amid dangerous high winds and bone-dry conditions. On the Westside of the city, the Pacific Palisades Fire has destroyed over 1,000 structures and wiped out entire neighborhoods. To the east, the Eaton Fire in Altadena has scorched over 10,600 acres, burned homes and is responsible for at least five deaths. Around LA, a handful of other fires -- the Woodley Fire, the Hurst Fire, and the Lidia Fire -- have burned hundreds of acres between them. ‘Pure fiction’: Newsom spokesperson slams Trump’s response to LA fires Fueled by near-100-mph winds, the fires have been called unprecedented. Yet, they have also led some to draw comparisons to major fires in the Bay Area, including the Oakland Hills firestorm, Tubbs Fire, and CZU Fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains. How many homes burned in the Oakland Hills fire? The devastating Oakland Hills firestorm broke out in October of 1991. The fire, which broke out on private property near the Caldecott Tunnel, destroyed around 3,000 homes. The region at the time was parched by a fifth year of drought. Fueled by 50-mph winds, the fire killed 25 people. Another 150 were injured. Some 10,000 people were under evacuation orders at the fire's height, about 10% of the roughly 100,000 people currently under evacuation orders in Los Angeles. "I will never forget that morning when those winds came. It was frightening," said KRON4's Vicki Liviakis, whose family's home was destroyed in the fire. "I smelt the air. It felt like 'witchy winds,' that's the only way I can describe it. 'Witchy winds,' and I had a sense of foreboding, like something wasn't right." The fire burned for 48 hours, scorching over 1,500 acres and causing $1.5 billion in damage. 2017 Tubbs Fire devastated Santa Rosa In 2017, the North Bay city of Santa Rosa was devastated by the Tubbs Fire. The devastating blaze was sparked by a private electrical system adjacent to a residence and was active for 123 days. Twenty-two people were killed in the fire, nine of them in Santa Rosa. As in the Oakland fire, 3,000 homes were destroyed. After sparking on the night of Oct. 8, 2017, the Tubbs Fire burned 36,807 acres and was at the time the most destructive wildfire in California history. The fire also burned 5,643 structures, about half of which were homes in Santa Rosa. Economic loss from the fire was estimated at $1.2 billion CZU Lightning Complex Fire blazes through Santa Cruz mountains in 2020 In August of 2020, a thunderstorm that produced thousands of lightning strikes led to hundreds of fires across California. Combined with dangerous drought conditions, the strikes ignited the largest fire in Santa Cruz County history. The CZU Lightning Comple Fire scorched 86,000 acres and torched nearly 1,000 structures, of which 697 were single family homes. At the height of the fire, over 77,000 people were evacuated. Miraculously, only one person died in the fire. Total cost of the fire was more than $68 million. How do the LA fires compare? Having scorched over 15,000 acres and destroyed 1,000 structures, the Palisades Fire is already the most destructive in Los Angeles history. On the eastside, the Eaton Fire has burned over 10,600 acres, destroyed at least 1,000 structures, and is now being blamed for five deaths. Tens of thousands of people remain under evacuation orders and it's estimated that the total cost of the fires will rise into the tens of billions. With both major LA fires at zero containment, the number of fatalities and buildings destroyed is also likely to rise.
