Eaton, Palisades fires continue burning as new wildfires erupts

The evacuation orders and warnings issued due to the Kenneth Fire in the West Hills area have been lifted as authorities investigate the cause of the fire as arson.

As firefighters battled the flames Thursday afternoon, a person was detained in Woodland Hills for questioning. Authorities said he was possibly connected to the fires since he was apparently seen nearby trying to ignite something.

However, authorities later said that individual had been arrested for an outstanding warrant unrelated to the active fires in the region. There are now no suspects in the fire.

Nearly 1,000 acres were burned.

Residents across Los Angeles County again reported receiving another emergency evacuation alert around 4 a.m. Friday morning. However, no new evacuation orders have been issued, and no new fires have started.

It appears the alert was sent in error.

Two families recounted how they returned to their Altadena neighborhoods and were in shock to see that their homes were still standing.

The overwhelming flames of the Palisades Fire prompted some neighbors to take action. On Wednesday, two residents bypassed a security checkpoint to go save their properties and their neighbors.

Christopher Jones used a pump rig he got years ago and drained water from neighbors' pools and Jacuzzis to spray water on the threatened homes.

They estimate their efforts saved at least six homes, including their own.
