Update:

Los Angeles County has been devastated by some of the most destructive fires in its history. The Eaton and Palisades fires have burned thousands of homes and claimed the lives of seven people. Over one hundred thousand residents remain under an evacuation order, and those hoping to assess the destruction to their homes and community have been unable to access the affected areas.

Two more fires start in Los Angeles County

Two fires ignited in Los Angeles County on Thursday evening. The Creek Fire has burned one acre near Big Tujunga Canyon Road, and, according to reports on Watch Duty, reinforcements have been requested to combat the flames despite the fire remaining small. Fortunately, the Foothill Fire, which started in Pacoima near Highway 118 and Dronfield Avenue, seems to be under control, as first responders have managed to slow the blaze.

No evacuation orders have been issued in relation to these new fires.
