STATUS UPDATE:
Fire continues to burn actively with greatest rates of spread experienced on exposed ridgetops and drainages. Sunny skies prevailed across the incident today. Tonight, weak northerly winds are expected with low humidity. With this, critical fire weather conditions are possible Saturday night with a FIRE WEATHER WATCH expected to begin at 6PM.
The Los Angeles County and CAL FIRE Damage Assessment Teams (DINS) will continue to assess and validate structures impacted by the Palisades Fire. It is expected that more than 5,000 structures have been destroyed.
The Los Angeles Unified School District has canceled classes for all schools Friday. Residents are encouraged to avoid nonessential travel to allow firefighters plenty of room to work.
Additionally, we have been made aware that there is an inaccurate social media post circulating on Facebook suggesting that people can come work in California as part of a clean-up crew in areas that burned in recent wildfires. There is no truth to this social media post, and there is no need to call and inquire.
