Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley said Tuesday that “life-threatening and destructive and widespread winds” are in the region, which could fuel the growth of new or existing wildfires in Los Angeles County and Ventura County.

Fires across the Los Angeles area have killed at least 24 people and destroyed more than 12,000 structures, officials said, scorching more than 60 square miles and displacing tens of thousands of people.

Palisades Fire initially started 10:30 a.m. Jan. 7 in Los Angeles County. It has burned 23,713 acres after being active for nine days. A crew of 4,471 firefighters has been working on site and they managed to contain 27% of the fire by Thursday evening. The blaze's cause remains under investigation.

According to Azusa police, a man who has admitted to setting a fire at a park has been arrested as the investigation continues.

Arrests near wildfire zones in Los Angeles continue to increase as more National Guard members have been deployed to the region.

Those looking to assist residents affected by the Los Angeles County firestorm have a number of options to donate money, materials or their time.

Fire crews are working to contain a new wildfire that has erupted near the Hanson Canyon Dam in the northeast San Fernando Valley. Sky 5 is overhead.

Inmate firefighters responding to the ongoing Los Angeles fires and working 24-hour shifts are earning $26.90 per day, according to the California Dept. of Corrections.

Winds could threaten small signs of progress firefighters made over the weekend with the devastating Pacific Palisades Fire.

Kern County Fire Chief Aaron Duncan said on Tuesday, the department has sent approximately a third of its personnel to help fight the historic wildfires -- the Palisades and Eaton fires.

A group of Pacific Palisades residents and businesses impacted by the Palisades Fire has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against the city's Department of Water and Power.
