‘We got our fingers crossed’: residents in limbo after LA fires force evacuations As wildfires burn through 40,000 acres, people return home for some belongings as they brace for new danger.
The number of people killed from the Palisades and Eaton fires rose to 24, according to the county medical examiner, and 13 were reported as missing.
“I had heard of a fire here and there in this area, but it wasn’t anything to be really concerned about,” McNeil saidon Sunday.
The Palisades fire, according to Cal Fire, was 11% contained.
Several exits on the 405 remained closed, and residents in parts of Santa Monica, Malibu and Topanga were still in evacuation zones.
