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.

The most destructive fires in the city’s history claimed 27 lives. Officials say that number will likely increase.

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.

The Los Angeles Fire Department estimates that about 10,000 structures have been burned down or damaged in the city's fires. That includes houses, sheds, garages and cars. Celebrities who lost their homes in the fire included model and actor Paris Hilton, actor Billy Crystal, and actor Miles Teller. The death toll rose to 24 on Monday.

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

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.

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

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.
