At least eleven (11) people have died, with officials warning the true death toll will not be certain until it’s safe for investigators to go into neighborhoods.

On Friday, the Sheriff’s Department said, more than 100,000 people have been ordered to evacuate Southern California, with tens of thousands more under warnings.

Governor of California State, Gavin Newsom, is requesting for an independent investigation into what caused some hydrants to lose water pressure during the height of this week’s firefights.

As disclosed by the County Assessor, at least, 10,000 structures have been destroyed, and entire neighbourhoods have been turned to rubbles.

According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the Palisades Fires began spreading East late Friday, where fire departments are now fighting the disaster in the Mandeville Canyon area.
