At least five people are dead and many more injured as several fires broke out across Southern California amid historically dry and windy conditions.

The Palisades Fire, one of five active blazes in Los Angeles County, grew to nearly 20,000 acres Thursday, according to authorities, as the region endures historically destructive blazes that have so far killed at least seven people.

While that is good news, Crowley also stressed that the Palisades Fire remains a dangerous threat. The largest of the five fires still burning; the Palisades Fire remains 0% contained, and wind gusts continue to be measured at 60 mph.
