Eerie images show the devastation left by wildfires raging through California that have killed two firefighters, destroyed 500 homes and are STILL spreading

NEW On Saturday morning, some 3,400 firefighters on the ground and in helicopters and airplanes continued to battle the 48,300-acre blaze as it ripped through the city of Redding. The Carr Fire, which is just three percent contained after igniting six days ago, has been fed by high temperatures and low humidity, which were expected for at least the next week. Gusty winds reaching 60mph have fanned the flames creating ‘firenadoes’, which are strong enough to flip cars ‘like toys, according to fire service spokesman Scott McLean. On Friday, the evening sun combined with the smoky air to produce a milky glow, which illuminated the shattered remains of houses and the skeletons of thousands of charred trees in Keswick, near Redding (pictured left and top and bottom right).
