After a report from The Times, officials have called for an external review into delayed evacuation alerts in western Altadena, during the Eaton fire.

The Palisades and Eaton wildfires continue burning in the Los Angeles area that left parts of Southern California with devastating fire damage.

The National Weather Service issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation warning Monday, says winds could reach up to 100 mph.

All 17 people who died in the Eaton fire lived in an area where evacuation orders came hours later than others, even as homes nearby were already burning. Some people never received warnings at all.

After surviving the fire, many California residents are facing the secondary threat of looters taking advantage of chaotic conditions and abandoned property.

Los Angeles County officials are calling for an independent review of emergency notification systems after some residents argued that earlier warnings might have saved lives.

A new fire broke out near Los Angeles’ Bel Air neighborhood early on Thursday as the Hughes fire which was first reported a day earlier in northern Los Angeles County grew rapidly to set ablaze more than 10,000 acres, prompting authorities to issue evacuation orders and warnings to more than 50,000 people.

The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department launched a Looter Suppression Team for the Altadena area scorched by the Eaton fire.

As critical fire weather continues to strike in Southern California, crews are also tasked with preparing for a storm expected this weekend that could trigger mudslides in burn scar areas.
