Californians in the greater Los Angeles area are on edge as dangerous winds and temperatures are forecast. The Palisades and Eaton fires have killed at least 25 and destroyed thousands of homes.

"We are not out of the woods yet. Please stay on guard for a fast-moving fire," the weather service's Los Angeles office warned.

Additional water tankers and scores of firefighters arrived at the Los Angeles area on Monday ahead of fierce winds that were forecast to return and threaten the progress made so far on two massive infernos that have destroyed thousands of homes and killed at least 24 people.
