But dry conditions and Santa Ana winds were expected to continue through Thursday. “Firefighters are making steady progress and officials are reassessing evacuation orders to ensure safe returns,” Cal Fire officials said of the Palisades fire. “Crews are working with utility providers to repair infrastructure and address hazards like fallen trees and downed power lines.” The fires have combined to damage or destroy more than 17,000 structures, according to the latest estimates from Cal Fire and the Angeles National Forest. On Monday, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said that 11 deaths have been tied to the Palisades fire, up one from previous days’ reporting, pushing the death toll to 28 for the two fires. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office had yet to confirm the additional death.
