Eaton, Palisades fires continue burning as new wildfires erupts

Twenty people have been arrested so far for allegedly looting homes evacuated by residents fleeing wildfires, L.A. County Supervisor Kathryn Barger confirmed.

Barger announced the arrests during a Thursday morning press conference held by city officials to provide updates on the continuing firefight.

"In the midst of the emergency we've all seen individuals who are targeting vulnerable individuals by burglarizing and looting homes. This is simply unacceptable...I promise you, you will be held accountable," Barger said. "Shame on those who are preying on our residents during this time of crisis."

Barger added that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is proactively patrolling impacted communities to prevent looting and any other criminal activity.

"They have made 20 arrests of individual who will be held accountable for the actions they've taken," Barger said.

All evacuation orders in the Hollywood Hills area have been lifted, fire officials said Thursday morning.

Late Wednesday, the Los Angeles Fire Department said the majority of the evacuation zone for the Sunset Fire were lifted except for the area north of Franklin Avenue from Camino Palmero Street (the east border) to N Sierra Bonita Avenue (west border).

Fire officials said that area would be closed until Thursday morning as crews work to make sure there are no more flare-ups.

Shortly before 6:30 a.m., the LAFD announced that all evacuations orders were rescinded.

Residents were asked to be cautious when going back home as firefighters remain on the scene.

Actress and Producer Jamie Lee Curtis is donating $1 million from her Family Foundation to support the recovery effort from the multiple fires still raging in Southern California.

Curtis, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, says she's in "communication with Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass and Senator Schiff as to where those funds need to be directed for the most impact."

Uber is offering to help residents impacted by the Southern California wildfires by providing free rides to evacuees (up to $40) to get to temporary shelters.

"We're teaming up with local authorities and first responders to make sure everyone who needs help evacuating gets a ride," said Camiel Irving, Uber's Vice President of Operations.

To redeem the discount, riders must apply the promo code "WILDFIRE25" in the Wallet section of their Uber app prior to requesting the ride to designated locations.
