Despite some progress, the biggest blazes — the Palisades and Eaton fires — rage uncontrolled as anxious residents receive alerts sent in error and face massive damages.

CAL Fire battalion chief Brent Pascua says that firefighters have 6% containment of the LA fires Friday morning and are “headed in the right direction.”

Incarcerated firefighters working to battle the widespread Los Angeles brush fires are paid between $5.80 and $10.24 per day, plus $1 for active emergencies.
