Fires continued to burn across Southern California over the weekend. Firefighters have had success getting control over fires in Los Angeles and San Diego, but the Thomas Fire continues its devastating march along the coast, threatening communities around Santa Barbara. The fire has now burned over 230,000 acres of land and continues to grow exponentially. It has destroyed over 750 buildings and homes and is now the fifth largest fire in California history.

“We’re about ready to have firefighting at Christmas,” Gov. Jerry Brown said during a visit to Ventura.

Here are some images from the fires over the weekend.
