At least 576 homes and 102 commercial buildings have been destroyed and more than 15,000 additional houses are threatened as wildfires continue raging in Southern California, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
At least one person was killed and another four injured in the blazes.
About 4,000 firemen are still fighting 15 fires in seven counties in the region that have already enveloped more than 267,000 acres.
The fires destroyed also five homes in Malibu, where many movie stars have mansions northwest of Los Angeles.
In San Diego, about 250,000 people were evacuated, jamming roads and freeways.
Police and firefighters have been diverted from fighting the fires and controlling access and traffic to dealing with stubborn homeowners refusing to leave their homes until the last minute.
California's Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called it "a tragic time" and declared a state of emergency in seven counties, which makes more funding available.
