Los Angeles fires: More than 10,000 homes and businesses destroyed, at least 11 dead

Despite losing everything in the devastating and still raging Los Angeles County wildfires this week, Deisy-Suarez Giles’ family returned to survey the wreckage of their burned-down home, where her two young boys were happy to find a couple of their toys in the rubble.

Suarez-Giles said their home came from hard work, determination and a desire to keep her family safe.

As Suarez-Giles woke her family to leave, she said it was then that the realization of what was happening became upsetting for the boys.

"Henry was very upset about it. He did cry. Lucas was scared when the fire was coming. There was a lot of panic leaving, especially with two little kids. Lucas was crying," she said. "He was in a lot of panic when I woke him up. I said, ‘we gotta go, baby, the fire's getting close.’"
