While there's been considerable progress in containing the Hurst and Lidia fires, the two largest -- the Palisades and Eaton fires -- persist with little to no signs of waning, according to city officials. On Thursday night, a new blaze erupted in West Hills, destroying over 1,000 acres within hours.

At least 11 people have died due to the fires, the Los Angeles Medical Examiner's Office confirmed. "Unfortunately I think the death toll will rise," LA Sheriff Robert Luna said earlier this week.

A curfew is in effect from 6 p.m. PT Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday in the areas where mandatory evacuations are in place.

At least 153,000 people have had to evacuate and about 166,000 people are under evacuation warnings as of Friday, according to Luna.

In total, nearly 40,000 acres have been decimated, with the Palisades and Eaton fires driving the destruction, according to the California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection, or Cal Fire.

More than 10 million Angelenos received evacuation alerts on their phones that were sent by mistake on Thursday and early Friday morning. But LA County Emergency Manager Kevin McGowan urged residents not to disable their emergency alerts.

On Friday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered an investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported shortage of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir.
