For five consecutive days, wildfires fanned by strong winds have ravaged neighborhoods in Los Angeles, destroying more than 12,300 homes and buildings and leaving at least 16 dead. Fresh evacuations were ordered from Mandeville Canyon to the Interstate 405 freeway on Friday evening because of a flare-up of the massive Palisades Fire.

As of Saturday night, Palisades was at 23,654 acres (37 square miles) with 11% containment, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said. Evacuation orders were reduced to warnings Saturday for some neighborhoods south of the Eaton Fire,
