Authorities continued to battle the Palisades and Eaton fires throughout Los Angeles County as lower wind speeds are expected to provide some respite Thursday morning before picking up again in the afternoon, though firefighters were able to lift evacuation orders for a fire that burned through the Hollywood Hills.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who declared a state of emergency, urged residents to evacuate after he witnessed buildings destroyed by the blaze.

Evacuation orders were initially issued for one zone, but several more were quickly ordered to flee as firefighters worked to contain the blaze.
