The coastal Palisades Fire is at least 11% contained, however, now spreading inland toward Brentwood and other communities near the Getty Center and UCLA.

More than 100,000 have been ordered to evacuate Southern California as the Eaton Fire in Altadena and other blazes in the county continue to rage and ravage.

In this week’s fires, officials have confirmed at least 16 people dead, however, says the exact death toll remains unknown due to intensity of the wildfires.
