Firefighters hoping for break from fierce winds that have fuelled LA wildfires

Firefighters are hoping for a break from fierce winds that have fuelled massive blazes in the Los Angeles area, killing 10 people, obliterating whole neighbourhoods and setting the nation’s second-largest city on edge.
The fires have burned more than 10,000 homes and other structures since Tuesday, when they first began popping up around a densely populated, 25-mile expanse north of central Los Angeles in California.
