Friday, 8:15 a.m. PST Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said FEMA has pledged to reimburse disaster relief expenses; the Palisades Fire has expanded to more than 20,000 acres, with about 8% contained, and the Eaton Fire increased to nearly 14,000 acres with 3% contained.

At least five people are dead and many more are injured as a series of devastating fires grow uncontained across Southern California amid dry and windy conditions, leaving officials scrambling to contain the historic destruction.
